appeared in the Lower Eocene period and currently distributed in North and South
America. Anterior teeth lost and cheek teeth reduced to simple rootless
pegs without enamel, or lost altogether in anteaters. Their claws are generally
stout with everal groups walking on the sides of feet. Their Brains are small,
skull is low, and the zygomatic arch is usually incomplete.
