Anteater

The anteater is a mammal with an elongated snout and long tongue specialized for feeding on ants and termites. It has strong claws to open insect nests and coarse fur. It lives in the forests and savannas of Central and South America. It is a solitary, mostly nocturnal animal. It uses its sticky tongue to quickly gather insects. The anteater has no teeth, and its digestive system is adapted to process food made of small insects.
