Name: EMO Animal species: South American giant anteater Critically Endangered (Red List Assessment): VU Vulnerable Species About the South American giant anteater The giant anteater is the largest of the four species of anteaters, weighing up to 23 kg and reaching a total length of up to 240 cm. They are insectivorous, with a long thin tubular nose and a small mouth, a long, sticky tongue. It also has strong front leg claws, with which it defends itself and crumbles anthills. In order to protect their precious nails, they curl their fists and walk with the joints at the base of their fingers. The giant anteater lives in forests and plains, and is active day and night depending on the weather. Because they require large areas to survive, they have been found in a wide variety of locations, from rainforests and dry forests to savannas and large grasslands, but all habitats must contain forests.
