so youre brainless then? my dog drinks water either from his bowl or the toilet and he is plenty happy with that. i would never let my dog drink better than me. why kill your anteater friend faster by giving him something he clearly shouldnt be drinking?
@barshkin You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. A dog and a tamandua are not even remotely similar other than the fact that they are mammals. Dont go around watching videos of experienced pet owners so you can nag them about something you have no experience in.
@LeCorky That would be a great idea, except you can't allow them to eat ants on the random. Their prey can't be infested with pesticides and poisons, otherwise it could make them sick, or potentially kill them. Letting them go crazy in town is a seriously back idea.
@TamanduaGirl Do ant eaters have like.... jaws that open, kinda like humans, or is the entire mouth just a small hole for the tongue with teeth inside? I really haven't studied and animal as interesting as an anteater, so I'm just being curious.
@mrmilesdragon They just have a little mouth at the end. Their jaws can move a tinny bit but don't open. The roof of the mouth is ridged and the tongue zig zags back and fourth up and down to pull things down(Stewie used to suckle on my fingers). They have no teeth.
@MarkArandjus actually, they do now... they sell harvester and for the pet trade intended for specialized eaters suck as thorny devils and horned toads. don't u just <3 this world?? i know i do! :3
@bbphnix Lots of animals partake of alcohol in the wild by eating fermented fruit and such. A little now and then wouldn't be any worse than that. Tamandua do eat fruit in the wild. But the video is really juice that would be way to much wine to let her have.
@bradrnstyle About the life span of a small dog. The oldest was 19yrs but most will be early teens. You can house train them but they will always want to try going other places sometimes plus they dribble pee like a rat and can't help that.
ahhhhh man who really cares what all these over defensive environmentalists are whinging about in the comment sections, this is freaking AWESOME! The animal is obviously in good health, well cared for and well loved. Just enjoy the damn video of the Tamandua drinking out of a wine glass like a champion, its up here for our enjoyment after all =)
Before you knock someone for feeding animals "human food" go to your local park, and see what the squirrels are eating. I've seen them eating M&M cookies, cheeto's, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, and I even saw one in the crook of a limb eating half a slice of pepperoni pizza. Nobody is forcing them, and trust me the way they fight around the trash cans they are loving it.
All this while there is plenty of forest full of nut trees & all that other regular squirrel food around.
@bonniemae187 She just gets a little bit. She loves the bubbles on her tongue and I buy natural juices. Better than zoos who feed fruit as part of the regular diet. She hardly gets any sugar compared to them.
@NmHman127Nugget while I don't agree with what you said, the way you said it was freaking funny. Wine is lovely in small doses, but I gotta point out, its not wine, it sparkling cran-apple juice, meaning there's no fermentation. Its just juice. And I will watch your cat vid!!
In my opinion selling them as pets is wrong but of course better then killing them for food. Anyway If you save them at home you must be aware the you are taking a part in destruction of these species.
@emzetok No I am not killing them or supporting anyone who does so I am not harming the species. Info I have gained from having them has helped many wildlife rehabilitation who contacted me needing help with wild tamanduas. Diet info I have worked up has helped many other tamanduas keepers as well. We are working to breed them and have helped other breeders. This all increases survival and numbers in the species.
And I've read the comments. "Ohh I'd love having a baby tamandua thay're cute!". please stop uploading theese videos... you don't know how harmful they are for tamanduas and a lot of wild fauna species.
@cris1321 And most of the comments are not serious and even if they are they have no idea where to get one. I've had many rescuers of wild tamandua contact me for help. We have helped many tamandua by being as open as we are with our knowledge gained from having one and researching their care.
@rfengr Actually a tiny bit of wine or even chocolate wont hurt your dog it's that they can tolerate less than humans per pound of body weight but really a tiny bit wont hurt them. Plus tamandua eat fruit, sometimes fermented, in the wild.
The problem with taking an anteater into a domestic environment is that a) it is not domesticated and b) Most veterinarians would not be able to handle taking care of an anteater. You must also consider pathogens that would be found exclusively in the home that the anteater would NOT be immune to.
Also, do you have licensing for this animal? In most places it is illegal to keep wild animals as pets without permits.
1 love the videos love the animal ...you did a great job
2 fuck you all retards , can you read an animals thoughts? i mean how the fuck do you know if is unhappy?? this animal is better in captivity were i see has all it needs, no hunger no danger health etc.....
How dare you care for this animal! This anteater should have a an entirely natural life; one where it can experiance near constant stress, and die at an early age.
@23discordians yeah, well , they're going extinct in the wild. if there is a market for animals, then there is a reason to breed them. and which is a better life: always looking for food and being worried about predators, or being babyed?
I hope you have already got him back either to his natural environment or to a zoo. This creature that is thought or seems to be very mild and quiet has a very unexpectable behaviour. In Misiones, Argentina, a wood ranger woman resulted killed by one of these beautiful creatures while she was feeding it. What is more, the ranger woman had taken care for ir for over 16 years. She was no stranger to the anteater. Be careful.
@swaingles AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA a zoo!? LMAO, a zoo is often the worst place an animal could live at. The wild animal park in san diego/ san diego zoo is the only place ive gone to and not felt bad about the animals. once again LMFAO! This anteater gets forest walks everyday so it gets the best of both worlds: fun in the wild, safety and love of a human home. Besides, if this anteater is now drinking sparkling cran-apple juice it can no longer return to the wild and be expected to survive.
@Piddyx To tell you more, the ranger entered its cage unaccompanied, all against regulations of the zoo, and the animal mawled her with its fore nail (I don't know what's the name of it). One specialist said that the animal belonged to the bear family and these type of animals usually have a deceiving character. In Spanish, we have an expression that says "Don't play a Bear" when we mean "don't play dumb"
@swaingles I'm certain you are thinking of the Giant Anteater. If it's the same incident I heard of she was alone and it had a baby to protect. Similar to large cats you shouldn't handle an animal that big and powerful alone. Pua is all of 17 pounds at her chubby winter weight. She could cause damage under the wrong circumstance but death would take an very un-lucky shot to a vein. She's about as dangerous as my similar sized dogs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Listen this is supper inappropriate. I feel like his sad little eyes would feel better in the wild. Not in your house drinking sparkling cran apple juice. It feels wrong.
@HeatherLeo13 The wild is not a saintly wonderland. It is a hard harsh and short life. She is quite happy here. In the wild happy moments are few and far between.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@TamanduaGirl This animal belongs in the wild, where it can breed to support it's own species, and live as it was meant to live, harsh as it is. If an animal is in danger, it is the job of rangers to professionaly care for this animal. Keeping it as a pet is not justifiable. You cannot say she is "quite happy" as the poor animal knows no better than the concrete and artificial cheese you have introduced to her. Ignorance such as yours will spoil our incredibly important biodiversity.
@izzy3292 Go tell that to all the hamster owners. Hamsters are endangered in the wild. Tamanduas are not listed as endangered by IUCN but their trade is regulated by CITES to be sure it does not negatively impact wild populations.and with active breeding you wont impact the wild population at all like with your pet hamsters, which people have only kept as pets for about 70 years.
@TamanduaGirl This would imply that a hamster has been domesticated. Also, hamsters do not require the extremely specialized diet that anteaters have.
@SnazzyArcade 70yrs counts as domestication? People have kept foxes much, much longer and they have been bred to come in a variety of unnatural colors. Does that mean you have no problem with people keeping foxes as pets? A fox's diet is easy too. So what if the diet is complex, If you can give a healthy diet where is the problem? The cheese is just a treat. I worked hard on the diet and many other anteaters have been helped when they switched to my diet.
@cris1321 If everything unnatural is bad why are you on a computer? And you're wrong anyway since my last post was about fox coat color that is on a genetic level, not just taming and they have been kept for thousands of years. A recent discovery even suggests fox were kept since before wolves/dogs.
PS if you look in a dictionary tame is a type of domestication. Genetic domestication for tameness is just one sub-type of domestication.
@TamanduaGirl Calm down girl, for me may be natural using a computer i don't care, but a example of domestication is the one of the dogs and cows... What I want to say is that is wrong having wild fauna as pets. I lived In south America and god... Tamanduas, Sloths and all sort of species are disapearing because people buy them as pets.. What I see here is a Tamantua drinking wine! in first place thats totally wrong! all members of the Pilosa order are very sensitive to strange sbstances.
Your wild life is disappearing because of habitat destruction as the main cause. Most people wouldn't even want to keep sloth or anteater as a pet but they would kill them for food if poor. 1000s times more will be seen dead on the road and killed in fires than you will ever see as pets. Brazil has almost daily stories of tamandua rescued from wandering into homes, electrocuted on power lines etc.
Wild tamandua eat fruit including fermented fruit but it is just juice as description says
@cris1321 There have also been wild animals that have kept other wild animals as "pets, like a lion keeping baby gazelles(she even learned to keep them alive by letting them nurse then recapturing them), or chimps keeping other species. Some animals like ants even farm other animals. So it is not unnatural for one animal species(humans are animals) to keep another animals species "captive" but it is unnatural for you to be on a computer posting comments.
@izzy3292 And this said by someone who favorites horrible car crashes. Car crashes good, loving and caring for an animal bad. Sorry but I think you have things backwards.
@HeatherLeo13 More than 99% of all species that have ever existed on Earth during its 4billion+ year history are now extinct. The only hope creatures have going into the future for guaranteed survival (guaranteed until humans too reach their end) is domestication. Dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, horses and hamsters are just a few of the animals on this planet that are immune to extinction. Why? Because mankind has given them a priority status. Anteaters should be so lucky.
@PennyDreadfuI Most people kill insects, but they have the highest chance of survival out of any other species IF kept away from humans (unless it needs a host, for example a mosquito).
I'm a zoology student. All those animals you described were originally domesticated for food.
Also, dogs have a lower chance of survival in most places because there are more stray dogs than owned, and dogs do not have the instincts to cope in the wild (w/o humans).
@SnazzyArcade First hamsters were shipped to a lab and all USA hamster are descended from that small shipment. I'm fairly sure they weren't being eaten in a lab. While some eat dogs and cats I do not believe that is how they initially got domesticated either. The reason doesn't make any real difference on the fact they will not go extinct as long as humans find them useful enough to breed and keep.
@Makreel44 Are you really that stupid? What do you have for a pet? Dog? Dogs are mixed offspring of wolf. Shouldent Theeeeey be in the wild? Same with cats, Fish, birds etc. Really that anteater is not more domesticated than your dog. Case Closed.
Looks like a happy drunk.

@Piddyx To tell you more, the ranger entered its cage unaccompanied, all against regulations of the zoo, and the animal mawled her with its fore nail (I don't know what's the name of it). One specialist said that the animal belonged to the bear family and these type of animals usually have a deceiving character. In Spanish, we have an expression that says "Don't play a Bear" when we mean "don't play dumb"

@swaingles I'm certain you are thinking of the Giant Anteater. If it's the same incident I heard of she was alone and it had a baby to protect. Similar to large cats you shouldn't handle an animal that big and powerful alone. Pua is all of 17 pounds at her chubby winter weight. She could cause damage under the wrong circumstance but death would take an very un-lucky shot to a vein. She's about as dangerous as my similar sized dogs.

Listen this is supper inappropriate. I feel like his sad little eyes would feel better in the wild. Not in your house drinking sparkling cran apple juice. It feels wrong.

@HeatherLeo13 The wild is not a saintly wonderland. It is a hard harsh and short life. She is quite happy here. In the wild happy moments are few and far between.

@TamanduaGirl This animal belongs in the wild, where it can breed to support it's own species, and live as it was meant to live, harsh as it is. If an animal is in danger, it is the job of rangers to professionaly care for this animal. Keeping it as a pet is not justifiable. You cannot say she is "quite happy" as the poor animal knows no better than the concrete and artificial cheese you have introduced to her. Ignorance such as yours will spoil our incredibly important biodiversity.

@izzy3292 Go tell that to all the hamster owners. Hamsters are endangered in the wild. Tamanduas are not listed as endangered by IUCN but their trade is regulated by CITES to be sure it does not negatively impact wild populations.and with active breeding you wont impact the wild population at all like with your pet hamsters, which people have only kept as pets for about 70 years.

@TamanduaGirl This would imply that a hamster has been domesticated. Also, hamsters do not require the extremely specialized diet that anteaters have.

@SnazzyArcade 70yrs counts as domestication? People have kept foxes much, much longer and they have been bred to come in a variety of unnatural colors. Does that mean you have no problem with people keeping foxes as pets? A fox's diet is easy too. So what if the diet is complex, If you can give a healthy diet where is the problem? The cheese is just a treat. I worked hard on the diet and many other anteaters have been helped when they switched to my diet.

@TamanduaGirl the domestication of species needs thousands of years, what you describe is taming, and is an unnatural process.
cris1321 11 months ago
@cris1321 If everything unnatural is bad why are you on a computer? And you're wrong anyway since my last post was about fox coat color that is on a genetic level, not just taming and they have been kept for thousands of years. A recent discovery even suggests fox were kept since before wolves/dogs.
PS if you look in a dictionary tame is a type of domestication. Genetic domestication for tameness is just one sub-type of domestication.

@TamanduaGirl Calm down girl, for me may be natural using a computer i don't care, but a example of domestication is the one of the dogs and cows... What I want to say is that is wrong having wild fauna as pets. I lived In south America and god... Tamanduas, Sloths and all sort of species are disapearing because people buy them as pets.. What I see here is a Tamantua drinking wine! in first place thats totally wrong! all members of the Pilosa order are very sensitive to strange sbstances.
cris1321 11 months ago
Your wild life is disappearing because of habitat destruction as the main cause. Most people wouldn't even want to keep sloth or anteater as a pet but they would kill them for food if poor. 1000s times more will be seen dead on the road and killed in fires than you will ever see as pets. Brazil has almost daily stories of tamandua rescued from wandering into homes, electrocuted on power lines etc.
Wild tamandua eat fruit including fermented fruit but it is just juice as description says

@TamanduaGirl Not an excuse for having wild fauna species in your home.
cris1321 11 months ago
@cris1321 There have also been wild animals that have kept other wild animals as "pets, like a lion keeping baby gazelles(she even learned to keep them alive by letting them nurse then recapturing them), or chimps keeping other species. Some animals like ants even farm other animals. So it is not unnatural for one animal species(humans are animals) to keep another animals species "captive" but it is unnatural for you to be on a computer posting comments.

@HeatherLeo13 More than 99% of all species that have ever existed on Earth during its 4billion+ year history are now extinct. The only hope creatures have going into the future for guaranteed survival (guaranteed until humans too reach their end) is domestication. Dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, horses and hamsters are just a few of the animals on this planet that are immune to extinction. Why? Because mankind has given them a priority status. Anteaters should be so lucky.
PennyDreadfuI 1 year ago
@PennyDreadfuI Most people kill insects, but they have the highest chance of survival out of any other species IF kept away from humans (unless it needs a host, for example a mosquito).
I'm a zoology student. All those animals you described were originally domesticated for food.
Also, dogs have a lower chance of survival in most places because there are more stray dogs than owned, and dogs do not have the instincts to cope in the wild (w/o humans).
SnazzyArcade 1 year ago
@SnazzyArcade First hamsters were shipped to a lab and all USA hamster are descended from that small shipment. I'm fairly sure they weren't being eaten in a lab. While some eat dogs and cats I do not believe that is how they initially got domesticated either. The reason doesn't make any real difference on the fact they will not go extinct as long as humans find them useful enough to breed and keep.
