🌍World Anteater Day - Special Shout to our Favorite Anteater Carlito 🌍 Join Your Birmingham Zoo and our conservation partners worldwide in celebrating Anteater Day! These unique termite-eating animals live in Central and South America and can consume up to 30,000 ants and termites a day. An anteater is easy to recognize by its long, tubular snout, shaggy coat, and bushy tail. It uses its claws to dig up ants and termites and then relies on its sticky tongue to scoop them up. There are four species of anteaters, with the largest being the Giant Anteater, which can weigh up to 110 pounds. Say Happy World Anteater Day to Carlito! He lives in the Primates/South America Building. #Zoolife #Anteater #BhamZoo #Carlito
