'''Anteaters''' are a family of edentate [[mammals]] native to Central and South [[America]], which have a tubular mouth with a small aperture, and a long (giant anteaters' tongues can measure over two feet) tongue covered with a viscid secretion, which they thrust into the [[ant-hill]]s and then withdraw covered with [[ants]] and termites.<ref>{{Nuttall|Anteater}}</ref> There are four species of anteater: the Giant Anteater, Silky Anteater, the Southern Tamandua and Northern Tamandua. [[aardvark|Aadvarks]] and [[echidna]]s are sometimes called "anteaters" because they also eat ants, but they are not technically classified as anteaters.
