Superorders

Atlantogenata is a magnorder of therian mammals. Atlantogenata means "Born around the Atlantic Ocean". Most of the species live in Africa, South America, and Southern Asia. The species vary in size from The tiny hyrax to the massive elephant. Species eat different things, for an example, the anteater mostly eats termites and ants while elephants, hyraxes, and sloths are herbivores, meaning they mainly eat plants or the plants leaves. Though some species in Afroinsectiphilia are insectivores, meaning that they are a type of carnivore which eats small hexapods. There is 8 extant orders in this group including many species.
