Detailed explanation-1: -The wet, black nose is located on the end of the anteater’s long, pointed snout. The position of the nose is useful for locating food and it also helps the anteater to hold its nose above the surface of the water when swimming.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anteaters feed almost exclusively on ants and termites, whose nests they rip open with their powerful forelimbs and claws, and then ingest with their sticky tongue. They only consume about 140 insects from each mound during a single feeding.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the wild, giant anteaters use their strong sense of smell and two-foot-long tongue to seek out and eat more than 30, 000 ants and termites every day.
