	Edentata - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.
		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 Pholidota, constituting the third and last group of the Edentata, are represented by the pangolins, or scaly anteaters, of Asia and Africa, all of which are included in the family Manidae and the genus Manis.

		The facial portion of the skull is very short; a long process of the maxillary bone descends from the anterior part of the zygomatic arch; and the ascending ramus of the mandible is remarkably high.
		More remarkable is Peltephilus, on account of the fact that the teeth, which are simple, with a chevronshaped section, form a continuous series from the front of the jaw backwards, the number of pairs being seven.
		The head bears a pair of horn-like scutes, and the scutes of the carapace and tail, which are loosely opposed or slightly overlapping, form a number of transverse rows.

	Anteater Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Giant anteaters belong to the order Edentata (also known as Xenartha).
		Edentata is Latin for "without teeth" ("e-" means without and "dent" means teeth).
		One fossil of the giant anteater, however, was identified from an early Pleistocene (600,000 years ago) site in northwestern Sonora, Mexico, more than 3,000 kilometers north of the present range of the species.

	Giant Anteater
		Giant anteaters are found in Central and South America in a wide range of habitats from savanna to montane and tropical rainforests.
		They are in the order Edentata which means "without teeth" and includes sloths and armadillos.
		The anteater's mouth is a small opening at the end of a long snout on an elongated head.

	Introduction to the Xenarthra
		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.

	Xenarthra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The presence of these animals in North America is explained by the Great American Interchange.
		In the past, these families were classified together with the pangolins and Aardvark as the order Edentata (meaning toothless, because the members do not have front incisor teeth or molars, or have poorly-developed molars).
		It was subsequently realized that Edentata was polyphyletic—that it contained unrelated families and was thus invalid by cladistic standards.

	Desert Diary, 29 July 2003--Xenarthra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The order that includes sloths, armadillos, and some anteaters currently is called the Xenarthra by most biologists, but the name Edentata often has been used.
		"Edentata" means "without teeth", which is really even more weird, because most of them HAVE teeth, though not the enamel covered, complex teeth we have come to expect in mammals.
		Edentates were well represented in the northern Chihuahuan Desert during the Pleistocene ice ages in the form of sloths and glyptodonts, but today, that icon of Texas, the armadillo, doesn't come quite far enough west.

	ON THE EMERGENCE OF MAMMALS
		Edentata differ from all living and most extinct mammals in a number of fundamental characters (Chapters 1 and 2).
		But then Edentata lineage is independent from before Procynosuchus (Chapter 2), contradicting molecular clock.
		Edentata (or at least Xenarthra) are peculiar also from amino acid sequences: they share a unique mutation [14].

	Ganodonta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the exception of Conorycles, in which it is longer, the skull is short and suggests affinity to the sloths, as does what little is known of the limbbones.
		The dentition, too, is of a type which might well be considered ancestral to that of the Edentata.
		Moreover, while the earlier types have a comparatively full series of teeth, all of which are rooted and invested with enamel, in the later forms the incisors are lost, the cheek-teeth never develop roots but grow continuously throughout life.
