Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Subclass: Theriiformes Infraclass: Eutheria Superorder: Xenarthra Cope Orders and suborders Order Cingulata Order Pilosa Suborder Folivora Suborder Vermilingua See text for more details The superorder Xenarthra is a group of placental mammals (infraclass Eutheria ), existent today only in the Americas and represented by anteaters , tree sloths , and armadillos . The origins of the order can be traced back as far as the early Tertiary (about 60 million years ago, shortly after the Mesozoic era ). Xenarthrans developed and diversified extensively in South America during its long period of isolation, invaded the Antilles by the early Miocene , and then spread to Central and North America starting about nine million years ago, as part of the Great American Interchange . Nearly all of the formerly abundant megafaunal xenarthrans, such as ground sloths glyptodonts and pampatheres went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene Xenarthrans share several distinctions from those of other placental mammals. The name Xenarthra means "strange joints", and was chosen because their vertebral joints have extra articulations and are unlike those of any other mammals. The males lack external

Edentata (Xenarthra) Edentata (also known as Xenarthra) is an order of placental mammals that includes anteaters, armadillos, and sloths . These New World animals (from the Americas) all lack front teeth; some have enamel-less cheek teeth. These animals have two or three very long fingers on each hand. Edentata means "toothless." Xenarthra means "strange joint." This order is divided into three suborders (and four families): Suborder Pilosa (5 species of sloths) Family Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths) Family Bradypodidae (three toed sloths) Suborder Vermilingua (3 species of anteaters) Family Myrmecophagidae Suborder Cingulata (20 species of armadillos) Family Dasypodidae Click to go to a printout ANTEATER Anteaters are mammals with very long snouts from South and Central America.

Edentata or Bruta The lowest order of the placental or monodelphous Mammals is that of the Edentata, often known by the name of Bruta. The name Edentata is certainly not an altogether appropriate one, since it is only in two genera in the order that there are absolutely no teeth. The remaining members of the order have teeth, but these are always destitute of true enamel, are never displaced by a second set, and have no complete roots. Further, in none of the Edentata are there any median incisors , and in only one species (one of the Armadillos) are there any incisor teeth at all. Canine teeth, too, are almost invariably wanting. Clavicles are usually present, but are absent in the Scaly Ant-eater (Manis). All the toes are furnished with long and powerful claws. The mammary glands are usually pectoral , but are sometimes abdominal in position. The

The Order Edentata Anteaters, sloths and armadillos These rather primitive New World mammals have on the forelimbs two or three fingers much longer than the others. These long fingers are used as hooks by sloths, to break open anthills by anteaters, and to burrow by armadillos. All lack front teeth, and cheek teeth, if present, have no enamel. Family Myrmecophagidae Anteaters: 3 species Anteaters have long, tapering snouts,tubular mouths with no teeth, and long sticky tongues. Family Bradypodidae Sloths: 5 species The slow-moving tree sloths have short, rounded heads, inconspicuous ears, and forward-facing eyes. The hand has two or three fingers with which sloths suspend themselves upside-down from branches. The hairs hang downwards so that rainwater runs down to the back. Algae often grow on the surface of the straw-like hairs, giving the fur a green colour and camouflaging the animal among the leaves. Family Dasypodidae Armadillos: 20 species Members of this family have a covering of horny plates or bands connected by flexible skin, so that most species can roll up into a ball for defence. They have three to five strong claws on the front feet which are used for burrowing, and up to 90 peg-like teeth. They roam in open country from the southern USA to the Argentine pampas.

Edentata From LoveToKnow 1911 EDENTATA, the name assigned by Cuvier to an order of placental mammals apparently typified by the South American anteater , but likewise including the sloths and armadillos of the same country, and the Old World aard-varks and pangolins. Only the anteaters and pangolins are absolutely without teeth (Lat. e, out, dens, tooth), and the name is strictly applicable only to those two groups; but in all the existing representatives of the order teeth are absent from the front of the jaws, while the cheek-teeth are devoid of roots and of enamel , and only very exceptionally have deciduous predecessors. Practically this is all the definition that can be given to the assemblage, which is possibly an artificial one. It may be mentioned, however, that there is not unfrequently a separate coracoid bone Edentates may be divided into three distinct sections or suborders, firstly the Xenarthra, or Edentata Vera, of America , secondly the Tubulidenta, represented by the African aard-varks, and thirdly the Pholidota, which includes only the pangolins common to Africa and Asia . The Xenarthra are essentially a South and Central American group, some of the members of which have effected an entrance into

EDENTATA ISSN 1413-4411 (print version) ISSN 1852-9208 (electronic version) Edentata is the journal and newsletter of the IUCN/SSC Anteater, Sloth and Armadillo Specialist Group, now produced on a yearly basis. Edentata is the only periodical dedicated to publishing articles and reports on the ecology, distribution and conservation status of the xenarthrans – among the least known of all mammal groups, and notoriously difficult to study in the wild. By helping to share information and stimulate exchange between xenarthran researchers, Edentata promotes both the science and the conservation of the thirty-one extant species. In addition, Edentata provides a forum for reports on the care and breeding of captive xenarthrans, whose needs are specialized and often barely known. Edentata thus fulfills the additional role of communicating information among zoo professionals and other animal caretakers, as well as including them in the flow of information from field research. Edentata is an electronic journal that is distributed by email and can be downloaded from the ASASG's website. We encourage our readers to share it among their colleagues and associates.

Welcome to Tom Irvine's Anteater Page Giant Anteater - Photo Courtesy of the University of Michigan Giant Anteater with Baby - Photo Courtesy of Brazilian Adventure Travel Giant Anteater at Phoenix Zoo - Photo by Tom Irvine Giant anteater - myrmecophaga tridactyla Order - Edentata - comprised of mammals including tree sloths, anteaters, and armadillos. Family - Myrmecophagidae Giant anteaters range throughout most of tropical America from northern Argentina to Guatemala and Honduras. Anteaters live in tropical savannas and forests of these regions. The anteater has an elongated snout. The sticky substance of its tongue traps insects. It eats up to 30,000 ants, termites and other insects each day. The claws of the anteater's front feet are hooked backward and serve the animal for ripping into ant and termite nests. Anteaters seldom spend more than a couple of minutes feeding at any one nest. Only a few thousand insects are removed at one feeding and then the nest is abandoned to repairs. The anteaters circulate around their territories, feeding lightly here and there, never destroying any one nest and, therefore, never eliminating any of their food base. Termites and ants recover losses very rapidly. Anteaters have a good sense of smell, but poor eyesight.

There are several orders of organisms which are found under the placental mammals which also have different unique or diagnostic features. These orders include ''Chiroptera, Artiodactyla, Rodentia, Logomorpha, Carnivora, Insectivora, Cetacea, Tubulidentata, Pholidota, Primates, Dermoptera, Proboscidea, Sirena, Scandentia, Edentata, Perissodactyla, Xenarthra, Embrythopoda, Creodonta and Condylarthra'' (Wund and Myers, 2006) . Under each order there is an also different animals such as Pigs and Deer. In the order artiodactyla variety of characteristics and animals are found. These unique characteristics include two or four toes. ''Pigs, Deer, Cattle and Goats'' are examples of the order artiodactyla (Wund and Byers, 2006). Pholidota, in this order diagnostic features such as ''long toque and imbricate scales which tend to overlapp'' (Byers, 2005). The examples of animals which are found in this order include only Pangolins. Primates, the diagnostic features which primates possess include ''brain with a posterior lobe, claviculate and unguiculate'' (Wund and Myers, 2006). The examples of animals in the order primates are Monkeys, Lemurs and Chimpazees.

Edentates (Xenarthrans) Please choose an animal from the list below: Order Xenarthra (a.k.a Edentata) Xenarthrans, also known as edentates, comprise a small group of some of the more unusual mammals. They are, for the most part, insectivores and herbivores, and are either terrestrial or arboreal in nature. They are found in the warmer climates of South America and North America, being found in Mexico and southern US in North America. Edentates usually lack incisors or canines, and of those that have them their molars lack enamel. Their teeth are held in by a single root each. Edentates have small brains. Anatomically, they have between 5-9 cervical vertebrae, whereas most other mammals have 7. Today, there are 29 species in 4 families; according to the fossil record there were at one time 12 families comprised of animals such as glyptodonts and giant ground sloths.
