Phylogenetic relationships of 13 myrmecophagous placentals. Lateral (left) and ventral (right) views of the giant pangolin (A), the white bellied pangolin (B), the aardwolf (C), the giant armadillo (D), the collared anteater (E), the pygmy anteater (F), and the aardvark (G) display the morphological diversity within this convergent set of species. Branch colors correspond to the following clades: orange—Pholidota; red—Carnivora; yellow—Cingulata; green—Vermilingua; blue—Tubulidentata
