ANTEATERS There are 4 species of American anteater. All species have extremely elongate snouts and no teeth. Their tongues are long and covered with a sticky salivary secretion, which enables them to trap insects easily. The largest species, the giant anteater, is ground dwelling, while the other, smaller species are essentially arboreal. Anteaters live in the tropical forests and swamps of South America. They are only active at night. Anteaters eat ants and termites. Back to Contents Page
