Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals. Their long head and snout
look like tubes and they have no teeth at all. Their front legs are very strong and armed with
heavy curved claws with which they break open the nets of ants and termites and then, when
the insects rush out, the ant eaters use their long, sticky tongues to lick them up at great
speed.

True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of Central and South America.
Scaly ant-eaters or pangolins are found in Africa and tropical Asia.

Insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they actually belong
to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on the plains of South
and Central Africa. It has long, erect ears, but short blunt claws, an almost hairless tail and is
yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small teeth.
