Giant anteater

They inhabit a wide variety of ecosystems, from tropical forests and savannas to cerrado and wetland areas. They are found in several regions of Central and South America, including Brazil.

They are solitary animals with diurnal habits, although they can be nocturnal in areas where they are frequently disturbed. They use their keen sense of smell to locate ant and termite mounds, which they destroy with their long, strong claws.

The giant anteater is a large mammal with long, thick fur, predominantly gray with black stripes that extend from its shoulders to its back. It has a long, bushy tail, used as a flag. It can measure up to 2.1 meters in length, including the tail, and weigh up to 45 kg.
