I don't know a great deal about anteaters, appart from they probably belong where they are, in the wild.

Really?? What did you love so much about it??
Was it their powerfull claws that will easily shred all your couches, carpets and curtains??
Or was it that looooooong, sticky tongue???

it was its looong snout, with that matching loooong sticky tongue, and those tiiiinnyyyyy cute eyes, and those pattable paws...
ooooohh. I'm still absolutely smitten.

you think it would be really impossible to keep one as a pet? ...maybe outside like in a doghouse and take it for walks everyday?

i am wondering can they live in any climate?
and what would i feed it? providing 10.000 termites or how much they usually eat per meal would be very difficult i think...

Don't be cruel, leave them where they are... No exotic animal should be kept as a pet IMHO
