Ant Eater

This is an exact example of our blog subject. Giant anteaters are a curious lot!
With tiny eyes and ears that greatly contrast its large snout, body, and tail, the world’s largest anteater is truly an extraordinary animal to see.

Giant Anteaters use a variety of habitats, including swamp, forests, and grasslands.
Anteaters eat ants and termites in vast quantities, sometimes up to 30,000 insects in a single day. The anteater will rip open a termite hill with its clawed hand and work its tubular snout into the opening, sticking its long, worm-shaped tongue down into the heart of the colony and trapping the insects on its tongue’s sticky coating.
Can you imagine that their tongue is attached to the sternum and moves very quickly, flicking 150 times per minute!!!

(They are so inoffencive by nature…)

The sad fact about them is that giant anteaters are increasingly killed in car accidents. They are also hunted for food, fur, and sport by people…

And for the last – excellent joke about anteater:
“Why don’t anteaters get sick? Because they’re full of anty-bodies!”
