How do anteaters live?

Anteaters are insectivorous mammals native to Central and South America, where they live in forests, grasslands, and savannas. They are most often found in areas with an abundance of ants and termites. Anteaters have elongated snouts and long, sticky tongues, which they use to extract insects from mounds and trees. They have large, curved claws, which they use to dig into anthills and break open termite mounds. Anteaters are solitary creatures and are mostly nocturnal, though some species are active during the day. Their diet consists almost entirely of ants and termites, and they may consume up to 35,000 insects in a day. Anteaters reproduce sexually, with females giving birth to a single young after a gestation period of about 190 days. The baby stays with its mother for several months before becoming more independent.
