Order IX.— EDENTATA. (Sloth, Abmadillo, &c.) 



In this gallery are arranged the remains of the various extinct 

 genera of Edentata from America belonging to the Sloths and 

 Armadillos, and remarkable for their gigantic size when compared 

 with their small living representatives. All the animals of this 

 order are vegetarians in diet, except the Ant-eaters and the 

 Armadillos, the former of which subsist on the White Ant, and 

 the latter on the grubs of insects, roots, etc. The name of the 

 order is misleading, as these animals are not entirely toothless, 

 with the exception of the Myrmecophaga (Ant-eaters), the front 

 teeth only being wanting in the majority ; the cheek-teeth have 

 permanent pulps always growing up as they are worn away at 

 the crown.
