No, they are related to armadillos and sloths.
Ever hear of Wikipedia? Geez
Giant anteaters are called "ant bears", as is the aardvark. No, anteaters are not really bears. "Anteater" refers to anteaters, aardvarks (ant bear, anteater, earth hog, earth pig)(related to the shrew, tenrec, hyrax, opossum), numbats (banded anteater)(a marsupial), echidna (spiny anteater)(a monotreme), and pangolin (scaly anteater)(not a reptile, they are mammals in the carnivore family and the scales are like fingernails or rhino horns). The closest cousin to the anteater is the sloth.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on what you mean by anteater. The banded anteater, or numbat, is a marsupial, but normally, "anteater" refers to the giant anteater, which is not a marsupial.
