Tapioca e sua busca diária por formigas...... . Tapioca é um filhote órfão de tamanduá-mirim que chegou ao IBAMA Parnaíba em fevereiro, entregue por um munícipe que a viu sozinha andando pela rodovia da cidade. A equipe do IBAMA a recebeu e passou para os cuidados e manejo da equipe do Instituto Tamanduá. Completando 4 meses sob nosso cuidado, Tapioca vem crescendo e se desenvolvendo muito bem. A parceria com órgãos, instituições e com a comunidade são essenciais para a conservação das espécies da nossa fauna! .

Day 181– Today’s animal is the Tamandua. This animal was suggested by @alex_stamp55. Fact 1) Several potential predators—jaguars and smaller cats like the margay—would love to make a meal out of a tamandua if it didn’t smell so bad. The bad smell lets other animals know where the tamandua is and usually sends them in the opposite direction. If a predator does get too close, the tamandua may hiss and then release a very unpleasant odor, similar to a skunk's, from a gland at the base of its tail. Fact 2) A tamandua's prehensile tail comes in handy for spending time in the trees. The underside and end of the tail is hairless, and the tail is used like an extra hand or foot while climbing. A tamandua also uses the tail for balance or like a tripod when needing to stand upright to slash out with the sharp, curved claws. The thick tail also makes a great pillow when sleeping! Fact 3) A specialized mouth and tongue let tamanduas eat up to 9,000 ants in a single day! Tamanduas don't have teeth to chew their food; instead, their stomach grinds the food after it is swallowed. A 16-inch-long (41 centimeters) sticky tongue with small barbs on it is just right for stealing ants and termites from their home. The tamandua's mouth is only as round as a pencil, but it can also lick up honey and soft, juicy fruits. EXTRA FACT) The enormous front claws help tamanduas climb. They have four toes on the front feet, with an extra-long claw on the third toe. These long claws cause tamanduas to walk on the outside edges of their front feet so the claws don't dig into their feet! The important claws are also used for defense and when digging for food. - Tag friends who would love this! - - If you see this from the explore page then follow me @dailyanimalfactss for more!! - - Facts from https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/tamandua-or-lesser-anteater - - 1st photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/31267353@N03/35763534826 2nd photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/83713276@N03/17172133557 3rd photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tambako/28532228692 - - ⚠️No copyright infringement is intended so dm me for credit if picture is yours!⚠️ - - #animalkingdom #tamandua #lesseranteater #animal

Here's my finished tamandua. Tamanduas are smaller relatives of the giant anteater. They are semiarboreal and have partially prehensile tails. They give off a strong smell to mark their territory and are sometimes called "stinkers of the forest". They're also pretty clumsy when they move around which makes them fun to watch. Go check out some videos. This guy will be joining my shop update on Sunday. Happy first day of spring! . . . #tamandua #lesseranteater #anteater #southerntamandua #southamericanwildlife #fibreartist #woolart #arttoy #softsculpture #kawaiiart #sculpture #biodiversity #wildlifeart #madeintoronto #wildwhimsywoolies
