"This slow mover is a silky anteater. His giant claw and a gripping prehensile tail help keep his balance as he walks the mangrove tightropes of the swamp." BBC Earth

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

How far out can you stick your tongue? The giant anteater can stick theirs out up to two feet (0.6m)! What’s more, this astonishingly large tongue can be flicked in and out of their mouth up to 150 times a minute, consuming more than 35,000 insects in one day!

Drawtober Day 30- Mummy. This thing should be my mascot. It's 2 of my favorite things combined; a silky anteater and a mummy. Anteater mummy probably has some magic powers too, like maybe they can summon an army of undead ants to do their bidding.

I have a lot of love for animals that are just named after what they are. Anteaters? They sure do man. Big brown bat? Little brown bat?? Hell yeah brother. But I think it’s even funnier when Latin names are like that too, just in a language no one can read. Myrmycophagidae is “ant eater” again. Myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) literally have a myriad of pods (feet). Anomalocaris is just “weird shrimp”.

Anyway this post goes out to the silver-haired bat Lasionycteris noctovagans aka the “hairybat night-wanderer” who has a binomial name so vague and unhelpful it describes literally every single other bat

#don’t even get me started on the order Pilosa. you guys can’t just name a mammal after having hair I’m begging you.
