The mammalian super order Xenarthra is composed of about 31 extant species of armadillos, anteaters and sloths. The tree sloths belong to two genera, Choloepus and Bradypus, which diverged close to 40 million years ago. The similarities between the two taxa, such as the presence of green algae in the fur and the suspensory locomotor ability, are remarkable examples of convergent evolution. The exact location of the xenarthran lineage within the mammalian phylogenetic tree isn’t completely understood yet, with some recent rearrangements of the placental mammal family tree considering xenarthrans to be either most closely related to Afrotheria (that includes shrews, aardvarks, seacows and elephants), or Boreoeutheria (that includes primates, ...
