With its distinctive appearance, featuring a long snout, bushy tail, and a tongue that can extend up to two feet, the Giant anteater is a specialized insectivore. It primarily feeds on ants and termites, using its powerful forelimbs and sharp claws to rip open ant nests and termite mounds. Despite its large size, it is remarkably agile and can climb trees when needed. This solitary and nocturnal creature has a striking black-and-white coat pattern that aids in camouflage. Habitat loss is a significant threat to their survival.
