Brula or Edentata.âThese creatui-es, repre- sented by the sloths, ant-eaters, pangolins, and armadillos, stand above tlie marsupials, as the brain is but little better developed than in the latter animals. The teeth may be absent, as in the common ant-eater, but when present they are not encased in enamel. Usually there are no incisor teeth, but those on the sides of the jaw may exist in the armadillo. The feet are adapted for grasping or digging, and end in large straight or curved â *â ' claws. The body is either hairy or protected, as in the pangolins and ar- madillos, with large thick scales. They feed on insects and decayed animal '''toelku': iniJ]Zt matter, or on leaves. They are of mod- rai attitude. enitc size, tliougli Certain extinct forms were colossal in stature. The leaf-eating forms, viz., the sloths, differ from the other Bruta in the very long and slender limbs, the hinder pair the shorter.
