Information

  1. Appearance: Ants have a long, narrow mouth and an even longer, sticky tongue with which they pull ants and termites from their nests.
  2. Diet: As the name suggests, anteaters feed mainly on ants and termites. They have a special tongue covered with sticky saliva that allows them to effectively catch insects.
  3. No teeth: Ants do not have teeth. Instead, their stomach has special structures that help digest the hard parts of their prey.
  4. Habitat: Anteaters are found mainly in Central and South America, from Mexico to Argentina. They prefer a variety of habitats, from tropical rainforests to savannas.
  5. Species: There are several species of anteater, including the great anteater, the lesser anteater and the sylvatic anteater.
  6. Threats: Sometimes anteaters are endangered due to habitat loss resulting from agriculture and urbanization. The great anteater is considered a near-threatened species.
  7. Characteristic movement: The large anteater, when it moves on the ground, often walks on the sides of its front paws because it has long, sharp claws that are used to ditch ants' nests.

Trivia

  1. Tongue length: The tongue of a large anteater can reach a length of up to 60 cm! It is extremely flexible and sticky, which allows anteaters to effectively catch ants and termites.
  2. No teeth: Despite being mammals, anteaters do not have teeth. Instead, they have a hard stomach and consume sand and small stones to aid in digestion.
  3. Sight vs. Smell: Ants have poorly developed eyesight, but an acute sense of smell, with which they sense colonies of ants and termites.
  4. Juicy claw: The large anteater has powerful claws on its front paws, which it uses to ditch insect nests and defend itself against predators.
  5. Loners: Ants are solitary animals that come together mainly for reproduction.
  6. Thermoregulation: Ants do not have the ability to thermoregulate efficiently. At low temperatures, they may enter a state of torpor to conserve energy.
  7. Nightlife: Most anteaters have a nocturnal lifestyle, so they avoid predators and hot daytime temperatures.
  8. Communications: Despite being solitary animals, anteaters communicate with each other through sounds, especially during the breeding season.
  9. Defense: In a threatening situation, a large anteater can stand on its hind legs, supporting itself with its tail, and display its impressive claws as a warning to a potential predator.
  10. Reproduction: After a gestation period of about 190 days, a female anteater gives birth to one cub. The young anteater rides on its mother's back for a while, learning how to hunt and survive in the wild.
