Giant Anteater
The Giant Anteater is a very unique looking creature, and it is the largest of all Anteaters in the world. It is one creature that doesn’t get confused with any others due to the way it looks!
The Giant Anteater walks with a very peculiar type of gait. This is due to the fact that they walk on their knuckles. They have a tongue that may grow up to 2 feet in length but it is very slender.
Each foot of the Giant Anteater offers 5 digits. On the middle one for each foot there is a very long claw. This is very strong and they use it as a tool to help them break open termite and ant mounds. They also use this claw to protect them from various types of predators.
Both South America and Central America are home to the Giant Anteater. They are high in numbers around Argentina and Honduras. Even though they aren’t found living in Mexico today there are plenty of fossils that have been discovered there. It isn’t known what occurred that caused them to die out in that particular area.
The Giant Anteater is able to adapt to a variety of different environments. They are able to live in grassland areas and the rainforest
