Armadillos are members of the order Xenarthra. They are defined by the xenarthrous process, a small spur of bone found on the lumbar vertebrae that helps to stiffen the spine. Other mammals do not have this particular bony bump. There are four families of animals in the order Xenarthra: The armadillos (family Dasypodidae), the three-toed sloths (family Bradypodidae), the two-toed sloths (family Megalonychidae), and the anteaters (family Myrmecophagidae).
Pigs are Ungulates (hooved mammals). The nearest relatives of the swine family are the peccaries and hippopotami.
