The Northern Tamandua is my favorite animal here, at the Costa Rican Sanctuary. It is the smaller cousin of the Giant Ant Eater, but he has equally remarkable features!
I also encountered a black tamandua in Puyo, Ecuador. Black Tamandua's are extremely rare. Their unusual color is caused caused by a pigment mutation.
Curious how I got to volunteer with lots of amazing animals in Costa Rica? Just send me a message on Instagram (@matthias.pav) or Facebook (Matthias Páv). I'll do my best to answer your specific questions about wildlife volunteering and share tips on visiting this sanctuary.
Knowing I've inspired action truly makes my day!

They need to slow down on thoe roads and look out for the poor babies

Very true! All over the world, in all the different ecosystems, rural or urban areas, we need to slow down and watch the road. Most animals you won't even know you hit, like toads, birds, and salamanders...

Did you know that sloths and anteaters are more closely related to each other than either is to any other living mammal?

@MatthiasPav Жыл бұрын

Yes, while making my video on the giant ground sloths I saw that there was a shared lineage between those two animals. I haven't heard it the way you phrase it however, crazy. I also learned that two toed and three toed sloths are actually from 2 separate families...
