Tubulidentata
Aardvarks, which use their sticky, round, long and narrow tongues to mainly eat ants and termites, do not have incisors or cuspids. Their molars are different; each tooth is formed from a collection of hexagonal tubes with a hole in the center. Therefore, they were named order Tubulidentata. The Aardvark, which lives in Africa, is the only mammal in this order.
