5 Interesting Facts About Anteaters!

  • Anteaters have no teeth at all - they swallow insects whole and their muscular stomach grinds them up instead.
  • A giant anteater's tongue can flick in and out of its mouth up to 150 times per minute - that's faster than you can blink!
  • Anteaters eat up to 35,000 ants and termites every single day, but they never destroy a nest completely - they always leave enough behind so the colony can recover.
  • Baby anteaters ride on their mother's back for up to a year, and their markings line up perfectly with mum's, making them almost invisible to predators.
  • Despite looking slow and gentle, giant anteaters have razor-sharp claws strong enough to rip open rock-hard termite mounds - and tough enough to fend off a puma!
