Baby Anteater Found on Highway Posted by on Oct 1, 2008 in Uncategorized

This week, authorities rescued a five day-old baby tamanduá (anteater) on a major highway in Goiânia.

Anteaters are forest-dwellers that feed on termites and ants. They can grow up to three meters long and can weigh up to forty kilograms. Some types of anteaters are endangered in Brazil due to habitat destruction.

    I think there is some confusion. Sloths are not anteaters. This cute animal is an anteater, not a sloth 🙂

    As a reference, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anteater

    Anyway, great blog! Actually, I read it for training English, not Portuguese, since I’m Brazilian 😉
