In the tropics there are meat-eating ant colonies pulling away flocks in the jungle, the animals that encounter these ants attack, in just a moment will be a pile of bones. But the termite beast will destroy this ant colony easily.

The forelegs of the large anteater are strong, long and curved like a sickle. This is a self-defense weapon and it's a feeding tool. Because the nails are long and curved, so when the front feet do not touch the ground, the back of the nail touches the ground, shaking and shaking, the gait is very ancient. It has a tail that is 1 meter long, ruffled. Rain or shine can be used as a cover. At night, it can be used as a soft sleep cushion.

Great termites eat in the spring every year. Children only give birth to 1 child . The time it takes to breastfeed its children very carefully, often carrying children on their backs, not leaving the children for a while until they have the next time they bring them.

When in danger, the termite-eating giant fled, looking very funny. If unfortunately, he could not keep up, he put his tail to sit on his nails to fight, his mouth made strange threats.

The termite-eating giant likes to live in the tropical thin forest or the steppe, especially in low-lying areas near the water's edge or in the swamp forests. They often live single, hidden days, and go out to feed.

Great animals eat the gentle nature, not harmful to people and animals.
