🇨🇷 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.

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.
