They are not livestock like a cow or a sheep. They don't carry like an elephant or a camel. They don't do tricks or lifesaving. That is, it is not a convenient living thing for man.
Their big and sharp claw can tear up even a jaguar(their natural predator).So, too dangerous for a pet.
I do...observe their extraordinary life at zoological garden.
In 2007,a young Argentine zookeeper who worked on a giant anteater conservation project died after she was attacked by an anteater who mauled her abdomen and legs with its sharp front claws.
Their size is about 6 ft. long (including the mop-top tail)on average .
Even if I'm light enough,their back are not adapting to ride.
Is that an anteater? Is it real?

Why does this creature look so funny?
What species is it related to?
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Motion of head, a bodily pattern and the figure that walks...all are cute and funny.
Reason why?...I don't know.
Armadillo and sloth is in same order "Xenarthra".
neighboringwild 3 years ago
Does the "Xenarthra" order include elephants?
What would you do with an anteater?
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Hmmm...perhaps elephants may be relative.
They have so much in common.
Classification is no more than an arrangement between scientists.
Do with...what?
neighboringwild 3 years ago
I don't know what they're like. What would they do to you? Or what do we use these things for?
They appear very random if that makes any sense.

If you were small and light enough would they be ideal for riding on?
How big are they again?
Would they really be dangerous as a pet? They don't look very aggressive at all.

In fact,baby anteater can piggyback on mother.
The "dangerous" sharp claw makes it possible.

Can't a pet anteater just have it's claw cut off?

なるほど！お答え有難うございます！！
そうですよね、アリクイの前には書かれてないですよね。
でもアリクイたちは名前呼ばれてもあんまりわかってないらしいです、飼育員さん曰く...寄って来るように見えるのはただ音に反応してるだけとか(汗)

何故アリクイ達のお名前ご存知なんですか？？

コメントありがとうございます。返信遅くなりまして申し訳ありません。
お名前ですが...たまたま、と申しますか「大人のための動物園講座」に参加した際教えてもらいました。お名前、機関誌や、新聞記事になると載っているのですが、肝心のアリクイ舎の前になぜか掲示されていないんですよね。
