Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.

Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs
are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they break open the nets
of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out, use their long, sticky tongues
to lick them up at great speed.
True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South America.
Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they
really belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on the
plains of South and Central Africa. This has long, erect ears but short blunt claws, an
almost hairless tail, yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth.
