Re: Giant Anteater Baby
Oh my goodness! Soo cute. Where did you find them?
I wish I had the time to actually go out and take great pictures around my area like you guys do. And every time I am out in the mountains I forget my camera =(

Re: Giant Anteater Baby
They are fabulous animals! May I ask where you are located...it's got to be South/Central America or near a zoo that has them unless you got these pics on the net. I cannot think that they could be successfully accommodated in any zoo, though!

I took the photo at a local zoo. Here in the U.S. we have 103 Giant Anteaters in captivity and we've had 4 births during the last 12 months. Unfortunately, I know nothing of their captive diet other than their food looks like wet (canned) cat food.

Re: Giant Anteater Baby
Great pics. It seems like I remember someone being killed by a giant anteater at a zoo or something recently?? Does anybody else remember that?
