Anteaters Sloths and Armadillos: Xenarthra

Sloths live in trees in the rainforest, an area where there is much rain throughout the year. This rain leads to the growth of many trees and plants. Anteaters live in rainforests or in the savanna, an area of grassland with few trees. Giant anteaters live on the ground, and pygmy anteaters live in trees. Tamanduas live in trees or on the ground.

Armadillos live in the rainforest, grasslands, desert, and in deciduous forests where leaves fall off trees during a certain season. Most armadillos burrow, using their claws to dig holes or tunnels that serve as their homes.
