Order Xenarth
ra
Order Xenarthra
is a group of placental mammals existent today only in the South and Central America and represented by anteaters, tree sloths, and armadillos.
Xenarthrans were previously classified as order Edentata (meaning toothless, because the members do not have front incisor teeth and lack, or have poorly developed, molars).
The name Xenarthra means "strange joints", and was chosen because their vertebral joints have extra articulations and are unlike those of any other mammals.

Order Pholidota
An odd group of mammals whose bodies are covered with overlapping horny scales formed from fused bundles of hair.

Order Lagomorph

Order Lagomorpha
The name of the order is derived from the Greek lagos ("hare") and morphē ("form"). There are about eighty species of lagomorph, which include thirty species of pika, twenty species of rabbits and cottontails, and thirty species of hares.
With long, constantly growing incisors, like rodents, but unlike rodents, they have an additional pair of piglike incisors growing behind the first pair.
there are two living families: the Leporidae (hares and rabbits) and the Ochotonidae (pikas).

Order Rodenti
a
Order RodentiaMost numerous of all mammals
both in numbers and species.
Characterized by two pairs of chisel-like incisors that grow throughout life and are adapted for gnawing.
With their impressive reproductive rate, adaptability, and capacity to invade nearly in terrestrial habitats, they are of great ecological important.
1. Sciuridae – squirrels and woodchucks

squirrels
woodchuck
2. Muridae – rats and house mice
