Anteaters are edentulous animals, meaning they have no teeth. But their long tongues are more than enough to swallow the 35,000 ants and termites they swallow whole every day. The largest of all four anteater species, the giant anteater can grow over 8 feet (2.5 meters) long from the tip of its snout to the end of its tail. He is covered in gray-brown fur with white front legs, black stripes running from his chest to his back, and a bushy tail.
