Edentates - Doedicurus on the left, Megatherium on the right
Edentate is a defunct nomenclature title of a group of animals that includes aardvarks and pangolins (or scaly anteaters - not to be confused with echidnas or spiny anteaters of Australia) of Africa and Asia alongside Xenarthra mammals of the Americas.

The giant ground sloth Megatherium and the giant glyptodont (extinct armadillo) Doedicurus, both featured in the ep. 5 of Walking with Beasts were extinct Xenarthrans, while the modern species were represented by the armadillo. (The third main order of Edentates were the totally toothless anteaters, represented by Eurotamandua in a cameo of the first episode of Walking with Beasts.)
