Reasons why giant anteaters are the best animal ever
They carry their babies around on their backs!
They use their big floof tails like blankets to keep warm while they snooze!
They love to take baths and use their claws to wash their fur!
They walk on their knuckles to keep their claws sharp so they can rip apart termite mounds and logs that contain tiny treats for them to eat!
When they’re threatened, they stand up to look real big and scary!
They have adorable, sniffy, noodle snoots!
And long, amazing tongues that “mlem” up ants and termites so quickly!
They also love to lick the juices from fruits!
Just listen to the noise they make!
Giant anteaters are silly, strange, and wonderful!
