Armadillo is the common name for the family Dasypodidae, the only extant members of the order Cingulata. This order included 2 other known extinct orders †Glyptodontidae: glyptodonts and the †Pampatheriidae: pampatheres. Both prehistoric animals that resembled large Armadillos.

Armadillos also belong to the superorder Xenarthra which include anteaters and tree sloths.

There are currently around 20 extant species of armadillo, other then that their closest extant relatives are anteaters and tree sloths but that's like saying that humans are related to lemurs because we're both primates
