ant bear
An ant bear, also known as an anteater, is a mammal belonging to the suborder Vermilingua that feeds primarily on ants and termites. There are four different species: the giant anteater, the silky anteater, the northern tamandua, and the southern tamandua. These animals typically have a long snout and a large, bushy tail. They are mostly found in Central and South America. Ant bears use their sharp claws and long tongues to access and consume their prey.
