Edentata (Xenarthra)
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." This order is divided into three suborders (and four families):
  • Suborder Pilosa (5 species of sloths)
    • Family Megalonychidae (two-toed sloths)
    • Family Bradypodidae (three toed sloths)
  • Suborder Vermilingua (3 species of anteaters)
    • Family Myrmecophagidae
  • Suborder Cingulata (20 species of armadillos)
    • Family Dasypodidae

    Click to go to a printout ANTEATER Anteaters are mammals with very long snouts from South and Central America. ARMADILLO An armadillo is a small, burrowing, armored mammal. DOEDICURUS Doedicurus (family Glyptodontidae) was an ancient armadillo with a tail mace. It lived during the Ice Ages.

4. Edentata
edentata. (Animals without teeth) Pangolins, now in their separate order, Pholidata,were once included in the order edentata because they have no teeth.
http://www5.wittenberg.edu/academics/biol/courses/mammals/edent.htm
Edentata
(Animals without teeth) Families: 4
Genera: 13
Species: 29 Ohio examples: none
Families:
Myrmecophagidae (anteaters)
Megalonychidae (two toed sloths)
Bradypodidae (three toed sloths)
Dasypodidae (armadillos)
Edentate means “without teeth”, but only anteaters are totally toothless. Sloths and armadillos have simple rootless molars that grow throughout their life. Pangolins, now in their separate order, Pholidata , were once included in the order Edentata because they have no teeth.
The extinct edentates, which were much more diverse than the living edentates, are believed to have been mostly unspecialized herbivores. They were probably outcompeted by newer, more adaptive, invading species. The success of modern edentates was due to occupation of relatively narrow niches. New invaders were not in direct competition. The living edentates had to cope with low energy food sources; they evolved metabolic rates 33-60% of those expected for their body-weights, and variable but low body temperatures (32.7-35°C) that burn fewer calories.
Edentates move slowly over small home ranges. Females attain sexual maturity at 2-3 years and breed once a year. They produce small precocious litters and invest much of their energy into raising young. Defense against predators is usually passive and primarily depends on cryptic camouflage. Edentates may try to flee from a predator, but they are more likely to stand their ground and strike with their sharp claws.

5. Order Xenarthra
(armadillos, anteaters, and sloths) Xenarthrans radiated in South America during the Tertiary, when that continent was isolated by sea from other continents. They are sometimes referred to as edentates (order edentata). Their fossil record extends to the Paleocene.

Order Xenarthra
(armadillos, anteaters, and sloths)
Xenarthrans radiated in South America during the Tertiary, when that continent was isolated by sea from other continents. The group currently includes armadillos 2-toed sloths 3-toed sloths , and anteaters , placed in four families containing 29 species. These animals are mostly insectivores and herbivores of small to medium body size (up to around 60 kg). In the past, however, xenarthrans were much more diverse and numerous. They radiated into around a dozen families, including not only the groups known today, but also such animals as giant ground sloths, some of which were larger than elephants; glyptodonts, reaching 3 m in length and the most heavily armored vertebrates that ever existed; and a large number of smaller grazing and browsing forms. Several groups of xenarthrans successfully crossed the Central American land bridge to North America when it formed in the Pliocene; these included a number of kinds of ground sloths and armadillos. Only one species, however, an armadillo ( Dasypus novemcinctus ), is still alive today.

Capture and immobilization of free-ranging edentates
This full-text document provides information on the capture and restraint of anteaters, sloths, and armadillos, and is authored by SL Deem of Smithsonian National Zoological Park, Washington, and CV Fiorello of the Center for Environmental Research and Conservation at Columbia University. It provides basic information on anatomy and population numbers for each of the three species, and then studies the capture and anaesthesia procedure for each, and looks at the anaesthetics which can be used. The document is taken from "Zoological restraint and anesthesia" edited by D Heard. Chapters of this book are published by the International Veterinary Information Service (IVIS), a non-profit organisation which provides full-text access to a wide range of veterinary information.

    Babylonia, Hommel thinks that it is rather the plain about the sacred city of Eridu. it is the latter scholar to whom the “Arabian theory” of Paradise in its best-known form is due. The rivers (apart from Pérãth, “ Euphrates “) he locates in northern and central Arabia, the “Cush” and “Asshur” of Genesis being, according to him, central Arabia and Edom respectively (Ancient Hebrew Traditions, pp. 314-316; Aufsatze u~ A:bhandlungen, iii. 281-284, 335—339). These rivers, in short, become Arabian wadis, on which see Hast. D.B. i. 132a (foot). Cheyne, on the other hand, rejects the Babylonian explanation of Eden as “field, plain,” on the ground that “Eden” was originally regarded as a mountainous tract. See further Driver, Book of Genesis (1904), pp. 57-60; Ency. Bib. Paradise “; and the commentaries of Gunkel (2nd ed., 1902), and Cheyne (1907). ‘ . (T. K. C.) EDEN HALL, LUCK OF, an old painted drinking goblet pre-~ served at Eden Hall,Cumberland, the seat of the Musgrave family. It is of enamelled or painted glass and is believed to date from the 10th century. It is of fair size and has the letters I.H.S. on the top. Round the vase is the famous verse given below. A legend involving the fortunes of the Musgraves attaches to this cup. In the grounds of Eden Hall is a spring called St Cuthbert’s Well, and the story- is that one of the earliest of the Musgraves surprised the fairies feasting and making merry round the well. He snatched at the goblet from which the Fairy King was drinking and made off with it. The fairies pursued him to his castle, but failed to catch him. The Fairy King acknowledged his defeat and gave the cup as a prize to Musgrave, but warned him that the gift carried with it a condition:— “When this cup shall break or fall
