Calgary Zoo Giant Anteater

Calgary Zoo has just aquired a Giant Anteater. This is the only one in Canada and has only been at the Zoo since May 17, 2007. This video shows its first day where the public could see her and gives some insight from one of the Keepers.

haha theyre so ugly

[TheNafru]

I dont know, I think they are kinda cute actually.

[Kibawolfgd]

i wonder when they eat does the ants bite them?

[TheNafru]

In the wild, yes. Usually they can only stay in one area for a few minutes eating from a nest before the defenders of the ant colony come out and attack them.

They also think that is part of the reason they are so selective on what ants they are willing to eat.

It should be noted however that their diet consists of a lot more than just ants.

Zoos are unethical and a product of human greed over consideration for animal freedom.
