In Real Life[]

Anteaters have no teeth, but they have 2-foot long tongues for eating 30,000 ants and termites a day. Anteaters walk on their knuckles to keep their claws sharp for digging into anthills and termite nests. Anteaters can carry their young on their backs until the young are old enough to take care of themselves. Silky Anteaters, Tamanduas, and Giant Anteaters are found only in South America.
