There are many animals such as that, from the pangolins of Southeast Asia, to the armadillos of the Americas.They belong to a group of animals called edentates (no teeth) and use their long longues to capture their food. Most edentates have very strong foreclaws that they use to rip open ant and termite mounds. The Giant Anteater consumes thousands of termites per meal. Recently taxonomists decided that all these toothless animals are been lumped together and they have begun revision. They are not aggressive...but beware of claws as they can be dangerous. A pet pangolin (a victim) I adopted had only three legs..the fourth had been amputated by a hunter's snare and prefered to stay in a vacant bathroom and spent his day coiled in the toilet bowl. One giant anteater loved to grip my leg and ride on my boot as I walked around...he got too big and I had to exile him to a concrete pen (he destroyed the wooden cage). Aardvaarks are also toothless animals. The Pink Fairy Armadillo of southern South America is the smallest and perhaps the cutest (if anyone could call them cute).

The anteater is the first that comes to mind. I believe there are other mammals that like them too. Chimpanzees do and of course that is only part of their diet.
