| Sloths and slender lorises can both grip tightly with all four limbs, but some mammals, like a tamandua, need their hands free for feeding, so have a gripping tail. |
| The tamandua feeds on ants and termites which it catches with its long, sticky tongue. |
| Figs. 107 and 108 show the entire abdominal portion of the alimentary tract in tamandua bivittata, the little ant-eater of Brazil. |
| Like the last genus, tamandua has a rudimentary clavicle, this bone being well developed in the little Cycloturus. |
| Her pets, Pua and Stewie, are Tamandua anteaters, native to South America and a pretty rare sight in Oregon. |
| The tamandua is much less than the tamanoir, being only three and a half feet in length, while the latter is over seven. |
