__**X is for Xenarthra**__

__**Where are they found?**__
These animals are found in south America and mostly live in trees. They are identified by the number of long claws that they have on each foot.

__**What Do they Eat?**__
They eat plants such as leaves, dandelions, and flower petals.

They always seem to have a smile on their face whenever their picture is taken.

This peaceful creature is so slow that algae grows on its furry coat.

As seen in the recent movies of "Ice Age", Sid the sloth is also a Xenarthra. Sid is a great example of how smart a sloth is from a persons ideas. media type="youtube" key="wMnP030jX2w" width="425" height="350"
