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.

Introduction to the Xenarthra anteaters, armadillos, and sloths Anteaters, armadillos, and sloths are a group of eutherian mammals known as the Xenarthra. They were once placed in the order Edentata and are still often referred to as edentates , a word that means "toothless." Although xenarthrans such as anteaters are indeed toothless, the giant armadillo has as many as 100 teeth, more than almost any other mammal. Members of the mammalian group Edentata not only include the 31 living species of armadillos, true anteaters, and tree sloths, but also contain eight families of extinct ground sloths and armadillo-like animals. Together, the living families and extinct families constitute the Xenarthra. Xenarthrans are a small group of insectivores and herbivores of small to medium body size (up to around 60 kg). In the past however, xenarthrans were much more diverse and numerous. They radiated into about a dozen families in South America, including not only the groups known today but also animals such as the extinct giant ground sloths and giant armored gylptodonts. Several groups of xenarthrans, mainly the ground sloths and armadillos, successfully crossed the Central American land bridge to North America when it formed during the Pliocene . Today, only one of these species, an armadillo (

Xenarthrans inhabit areas of South America and the southern parts of North America. They are primarily insectivores, herbivores, and frugivores. Giant Anteater - Myrmecophaga tridactyla The Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) grows to lengths of 1m-2m (3.3ft-6.6ft) and reaches weights in the range of 22kg-39kg (48.5lb-86lb). Long straw-like brown-black fur covers its body which grows to lengths of up to 40cm (15.7in) on its bushy tail. Nine-Banded Armadillo - Dasypus novemcinctus The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is an intriguing creature with bony armor and leathery skin covering its body. Eight to ten bony bands encircle its midriff, enabling it a certain amount of flexibility. zSB(3,3)

They were formerly classified as the order Edentata (meaning toothless) and put in the same order as the aardvark and pangolin s, until they discovered that the order was polyphyletic , meaning that unrelated species were seen as a group and was invalid. Now, anteaters, armadillos and sloths are in the order called Xenarthra which means "strange joints". It was named this way because they all have unique vertebral joint structure unlike any other mammal.

Two-toed sloths are found in Central America, throughout northern South America and in the Amazon basin. Two toed sloths are medium-sized animals, with a body slightly more than half a meter in length and weight up to around 9 kg. They are covered with long, usually pale gray-brown fur (paler on the head) that takes on a greenish hue due to symbiotic algae living on the hairs. Under the coarse outer fur, the pelage grades into a layer of finer, shorter underfur. External ears are much reduced in size. The forelimbs and hindlimbs are long, with the forelimbs somewhat longer than the hindlimbs (but the difference is not as extreme as it is in three-toed sloths, Bradypodidae ). The forelimbs end in two large, curved
