Giant Anteaters are endentate animals meaning that they have no teeth. However they have long tongues that are able to lap up 30,000 ants and termites a day! They can flick their tongue up to 160 times per minute. Also they are cleaver in that they don't destroy the anthill with their sharp claws instead they prefer to return to it and feed again in the future. The giant anteater can reach 7 feet long from the tip of its snout to the end of its tail. Anteaters are found in Central and South America, where they prefer tropical forests and grasslands.
