| The aardvark is the only surviving species of the tubiladentata order of mammals.. | |

| Surprizingly, the aardvark is no relation to the anteaters, which can be distinguished by their lack of teeth. The similarity is called covergent evolution. | |

| Our nearest relatives are the elephants, the hyrax, which looks sort of like a rodent but isn't, and the manatee family. | |

| The giant manatee and the mammoth are already extinct due to humans. The African elephants, the manatee, and the dugong (a manatee genus) are endangered. | |
