There are several mammals which do not have teeth. The echidna is an Australian mammal, a monotreme which only has a sticky tongue. The platypus is another Australian monotreme which has grinding plates, rather than teeth.
Sloths, anteaters, tamanduas, pangolins, baleen whales, and adult monotremes are all toothless mammals.
