Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious-looking animals. Their long head and snout
look like tubes, and they have no teeth.
Their front legs are very strong and armed with heavily 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.
