Vote for Anteater! They are one of the most unique animals in the world, and the cutest!

Giant Anteaters are one of four species of anteaters roaming the grasslands and forests of the South/Central Americas. Quirks of their biology include:

- one of the few species of animal to walk on their knuckles a trait shared with pangolins and gorillas. This is done to protect their massive claws, used to dig open termite mounds.

- a fused jaw that houses a tongue that can be up to 2 feet long!

- as pictured, single mothers carry their pups around for a year after they are born. Pups will even line up their single stripe with their mother, to give the appearance of one huge anteater.

- their closest relatives are the sloths! Another very cute South American animal.
