The Anteater from Schleich® WILD LIFE has a long, narrow snout that is up to 30 cm long.
The
Anteater from Schleich® WILD LIFE lives in the savannas and grasslands
of Central and South America. The mammal feeds primarily on ants and
termites. To get them out of their nests, the anteater bores in with its
long snout, then sticks out its 60 cm long sticky tongue. Anteaters
also have a bushy tail that looks bigger than it actually is due to the
long hair.
Fun Fact
Anteaters are part of the Xenarthra order and have more vertebral joints than other mammals.
