Xenarthrans are a large group of placental mammals. In this group are the sloths, armadillos, and tamanduas. What separates Xenarthrans from other placental mammals is the extra-articulated joints. It is one of four super-orders of mammals; the other three are Laurasiatheria, Afrotheria, and Euarchontoglires.
