Question

Where do anteaters live?

Answer 1

There are several species of mammals known as "anteaters" because they show similar specializations to feed on ants and termites; these species occur in different parts of the world:

- The South American anteaters belong to order Xenarthra (same as armadillos). There's the giant anteater
