There are four different species which vary greatly in size. The silky anteater is the size of a squirrel. The largest of four anteater species, the giant anteater may be five to seven feet long, from nose to tail, and weigh 40 to 100 pounds. It has a narrow head, long nose, small eyes and round ears. Its coarse hair may be gray or brown, with a white-banded black stripe running along the body to mid-torso, and a long, bushy tail, which can be two to three feet long. Its front feet have large claws, which are curled under when it walks. It has poor vision but a keen sense of smell. Anteaters are edentate animals – they have no teeth. But their long tongues are more than sufficient to lap up the 35,000 ants and termites they swallow whole each day. An anteater detects anthills and termite mounds with its keen sense of smell. It uses its sharp claws to tear an opening into an anthill and termite mound and put the long snout and efficient tongue to work. But it has to eat quickly, flicking its tongue up to 160 times per minute. Ants fight back with painful stings, so an anteater may spend only a minute feasting on each mound. Anteaters never destroy a nest, preferring to return and feed again in the future. In addition to ants and termites, anteaters also eat ripe fruit if they find it on the ground. Anteaters are generally solitary animals, except for mothers and their young. Females have a single offspring once a year after a gestation of about six month. The young will ride on its mother’s back for up to a year and remain with the mother for up to two years, or until she becomes pregnant.
