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."
