What is the classification of a anteater?

The giant anteater and tamanduas constitute the family Myrmecophagidae, which means "ant-eating" in Latin, whereas the silky anteater is classified in a family of its own, Cyclopedidae. Together the two families make up the anteater suborder, Vermilingua (literally "worm-tongue" in Latin). Anteaters, along with sloths, are placed within the mammalian order Pilosa of the magnorder Xenarthra.
