Peter the Anteater became UCI’s mascot in 1965 after of a vote by the student body in which the anteater won 56 percent of the vote, beating out the likes of roadrunners, unicorns, and centaurs.

A lesser tamandua, also known as the collared anteater, foraging. The collared anteater uses its powerful forearms in self-defense. If it is threatened in a tree it grasps a branch with its hindfeet and tail, leaving its arms and long, curved claws free for combat. If attacked on the ground, this anteater backs up against a rock or a tree and grabs the opponent with its forearms. South America's Weirdest Animals starts next Sunday 2nd August at 7pm on National Geographic Wild UK 📸: NHNZ | Max Q

Today is World Anteater Day — a perfect time to celebrate the amazing role that giant anteaters (and their smaller relatives) play in our ecosystems. The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is a highly specialized insectivore: it uses its powerful claws to dig into ant and termite mounds, then flicks out a long, sticky tongue to feast on thousands of insects every day. This niche makes it a vital natural pest controller, helping balance insect populations and support healthy soil. At Xenart

The Giant Anteater – The Silent Slayer of Ant Kingdom At first glance, it looked like someone in a bear costume dancing around — but once I saw it devastating an entire ant colony with that unbelievably long tongue, it was clear: this was the Giant Anteater. Just like the name says, this is an oversized version of a normal anteater — XXL size! With no teeth but a never-ending hunger, it slurps up over 30,000 ants and termites a day. Native to the Americas, it’s a calm creature — until provoked.

Known for its silky fur and elongated snout, which houses a long, sticky tongue used to French-kiss ants and termites at dinner time.
