🇨🇷 Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Tamandua mexicana NORTHERN TAMANDUA We had a close and rather special encounter with a northern tamandua, which is a medium-sized anteater with a prehensile tail, small eyes and ears, and a long snout. Their tongue is long and covered in sticky saliva to pick up ants and termites. The northern tamandua is well adapted to an arboreal lifestyle.

That’s one long tongue! 😛 Fun Fact: Tamanduas, like Ernie, have tongues that can reach up to 15.7 inches long! While they have really long tongues, their mouth opening is only 0.25 inches, about the width of a pencil eraser! 📸: Aaron, Keeper I - Primates | Phoenix Zoo

Like all anteaters, Micah the tamandua has no teeth and cannot open her mouth. Instead, she uses that 16-inch-long sticky tongue to slurp up her food. (Wait for it!) Similar to birds, she has a specialized stomach that helps to grind up and digest the insects that make up her diet. Tamanduas are known to eat up to 9,000 ants per day! 👅 🐜 #TongueOutTuesday #Tamandua #Tongue #Insectivore #SleepyHead #Ants #Xenartha 📹: Animal Keeper Katie Vincent | Los Angeles Zoo

This allows them to scour the narrow tunnels of termite mounds and ant colonies. All anteaters, including tamanduas, belong to the suborder Vermilingua, which means “worm-tongue.” 缾  Keeper Lindsey | Nashville Zoo | Facebook
