Jason Goldman pens an excellent review of Anteater Culinary Science:
Overall, three major variables emerge that seem to govern the feeding decisions of giant anteaters:
(1) the type of soldier-based defense (chemical warfare is way more effective),
(2) the type of mound structure used, and
(3) the nutritional value.
Thanks for the link-love!
Is it wrong that I, an ant, want a pet ant eater? 😛 My college roommate teased me to get ant eaters to harass me. 😛
