That's something you don't see every day Dave. Strange looking beast - half Bear half Hoover. :-D

Very nice. Do giant ant eaters eat giant ants? I ask, because the name, Giant Anteater, is rather ambiguous. :lol:

The Giant is down to it's size which is about 8 foot with a weight of over 30kg, there is also a smaller version. Diet is mainly Termites and Ants,there were numerous Termite mounds on open grassland. This was one of our target species which were difficult to find in the long grass and involved a forced march to catch up with them. We were lucky with this one as it dropped into an hollow and we waited for it to emerge in a fairly clear area on the other bank where we managed a few shots.
