Dasypodidae morphology data
I'm unsure which article would benefit most from this addition but i believe it fits somewhere:
"Only T. matacus presents a true vagina as in most eutherian mammals; on the other hand, in the other species a urogenital sinus is observed. The structure of female reproductive tracts in Dasypodidae contains a mixture of assumedly primary and other derived features. According to the different morphologies of the regions analyzed, a classification of the female genital tracts in three groups can be performed (group 1: Dasypus; group 2: Tolypeutes; group 3: Chaetophractus, Zaedyus, Cabassous, Clamyphorus) and a correlation between each group and a specific sperm morphology can be established."

Article has valuable figures, including depictions of the urogenital sinus of two species, which is a great visual demonstrating the morphological differences that divides Xenartha from other placental mammals. Bromallium (talk) 01:06, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
