Pictured is a Giant Anteater with tongue extended at the Dallas City Zoo. They use their 24-inch long tongues, which are covered in sticky saliva, to pull their dinner into their mouth. They eat ants, termites, and sometimes ripe fruit. The giant anteater, also known as the ant bear, is an insectivorous mammal native to Central and South America.
