Neotamandua is an extinct genusofanteaters that lived in the MiocenetoPlioceneinSouth America.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Their fossils have been found in the Miocene Collón Cura Formation of Argentina,[2] the Honda GroupatLa VentainColombia and the Pliocene Araucano FormationinArgentina.[3] Its closest living relatives are the giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) and tamanduas (genus Tamandua).[3][2] The species Neotamandua borealis was suggested to be an ancestor of the giant anteater.[4] Patterson (1992) suggested the Neotamandua fossils are very similar to Myrmecophaga, which would mean Neotamandua may be congeneric with Myrmecophaga.[2]
