The Giant #Anteater looks like a Surrealist artist's fever dream, but they are actually real and feature an ultra long tongue for suctioning #insects from #nests in #Brazil

A type of anteater called a tamandua, rescued from animal traffickers, explores at Bioparque Los Ocarros, Villavicencio, #Colombia on World Wildlife Day (3 March), which is celebrated to draw attention to wild plant and animal species and raise awareness of wildlife conservation efforts.

Y el segundo dibujo tonto del día.
Surgido de una conversación.
everyone talks about the giant anteater, but actually, there are 3 other species of anteaters, and the others all have something the giant anteater doesn't: A prehensile tail! Isn't that exciting? They spend most of their time in trees, because that's where the most coveted and most delicious ants can be found.

I made a thing again: https://braininabowl.itch.io/kingdom-inhospitable
- Be an anteater!
- Crawl through vents!
- Pick pockets!
It's a little jam game made in roughly two weeks for #PiCoSteveMo 2, and could've used a couple of days of polish. I might add that later, or I might not.

Love this photo from 1969, depicting Spanish painter Salvador Dali taking his anteater(!) for a stroll and emerging from a subway station in Paris. Nerdy fun fact: This picture was referenced by German band Rammstein in one of their videos: Mein Teil. I won't link the video because it gives me nightmares and I will never watch it again.

Rewilding in Argentina helps giant #anteaters return to south Brazil https://news.mongabay.com/2024/02/rewilding-in-argentina-helps-giant-anteaters-return-to-south-brazil/
"Recent giant #anteater sightings in #RioGrandeDoSul state indicate the species has returned to southern #Brazil, where it had been considered #extinct for more than a century. Experts concluded that the #GiantAnteater ventured across the border from the #Iberá Park in northeastern #Argentina where a #rewilding project has released around 110 individuals back into the habitat."

Important fact: All dinosaur-themed advent calenders are required to include at least one (1) Therizinosaur or Deinocheirid named Santa Claws.
Similarly, Pleistocene-themed advent calenders must include at least one giant ground sloth or giant anteater named Santa Claws.
Do not tolerate any exceptions.
Thank you.
