	Tubulidentata
		The mitochondrial DNA molecule of the aardvark, Orycteropus afer, and the position of the Tubulidentata in the eutherian tree.
		The chromosome-banding patterns of the aardvark Orycteropus afer (Tubulidentata, Orycteropidae).
		Pickford, M. Tubulidentata (Mammalia) from the middle and upper Miocene of southern Namibia.

	Aardvark
		The Aardvark was originally placed in the same genus as the South American anteaters[?] because of superficial similarities which, it is now known, are the result of convergent evolution, not common ancestry.
		The oldest known Tubulidentata fossils have been found in Kenya and date to the early Miocene.
		The most distinctive characteristic of the Tubulidentata is (as the name implies) their teeth which, instead of having a pulp cavity, have lots of thin tubes of dentine, each containing pulp and held together by cementum.

	Aardvark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aardvark was originally placed in the same order as the South American anteaters because of superficial similarities which, it is now known, are the result of convergent evolution, not common ancestry.
		Although the relationships of Tubulidentata are unknown, they are probably ungulates.
		The most distinctive characteristic of the Tubulidentata is (as the name implies) their teeth, which, instead of having a pulp cavity, have a number of thin tubes of dentine, each containing pulp and held together by cementum.

	Aardvark (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Anatomical evidence later led to a reclassification of the aardvark into its own Order, Tubulidentata, and molecular biology has confirmed this division, suggesting that the aardvarks represent the last remnants of an afrotherian clade that has been evolving independently since the late Cretaceous.
		The order Tubulidentata first appears in the fossil record in the early Miocene of Kenya, and later members spread to Europe and southern Asia during the later Miocene and early Pliocene.
		Due to scarcity of material neither the status nor the limits of distribution of the subspecies are known.

	Pictures of the order of aardvark \| Order Tubulidentata facts
		The name Tubulidentata is derived from the structure of aardvark teeth, each being composed of over 1000 hexagonal columns of dentine.
		Tubulidentata is an order of mammals that contains only one family, with one living genus, and a single species, the Aardvark.
		The aardvark is a solitary, shy, nocturnal animal.

	Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: TUBULIDENTATA
		Tubulidentata is the smallest living order of mammals.
		The ordinal name, Tubulidentata, refers to the unique structure of the teeth (numerous hexagonal prisms of dentine surrounding tubular pulp cavities).
		The common name, Aardvark, is an Afrikaner term meaning "earth hog", since these animals are somewhat piglike in appearance.

	Tubulidentata (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The order Tubulidentata is the smallest order of extant mammals, containing but one species - the aardvark - the last surviving member of an ancient line of hoofed mammals.
		The structure of the teeth, being so unique, has made its way into the taxonomy - Tubulidentata translates as "provided with teeth with little tubes".
		The pollex or "thumb" is absent on the front feet - resulting in four toes - while the hind feet have five toes each.

	Arbitrary Aardvark
		The Chadian specimen is characterized by the highest dental robustness index among all Tubulidentata, the presence of crests on the pterygoid, the triangular-shaped olecranon fossa and the reduction of the deltoid crest.
		The chromosome-banding patterns of the aardvark Orycteropus afer (Tubulidentata, Orycteropidae).
