Northern Tamandua Anteater – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Northern Tamandua Anteater:
The Northern Tamandua is a small, rainforest dwelling anteater native to tropical and sub-tropical areas of southern Mexico, down through much of Central America and to the northern range of the Andes Mountains in South America. It is also sometimes called the "Vested Anteater" due to the distinctive vest of brown fur on it's mid-section. As the name implies, it feeds on ants and termites that it laps up using it's sticky saliva and tongue, which it swallows whole because it has no teeth. It is mostly arboreal, spending much of their lives in the rainforest canopy, using it's prehensile tail to help navigate through the trees. When the Tamandua feels threatened, it will stand on it's hind legs, spread it's arms out and attempt to appear to large to eat. There are four recognized subspecies of Tamandua mexicana.
