Added origins, Flood survival, 'evolution'
'''Anteaters''' are a family of edentate [[mammals]], which have a tubular mouth with a small aperture, and a long tongue covered with a viscid secretion, which they thrust into the [[ant-hill|ant-hills]] and then withdraw covered with [[ants]]<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 | echidnas]] are sometimes called "anteaters" due to superficial resemblances, but this is not biologically correct.

==Origins==
According to the [[origins theory]] model used by young earth [[creation science | creation scientists]], modern Anteaters are the descendants of the two members of the modern anteater baramin that were taken aboard [[Noah's Ark]] prior to the [[Great Flood]]. It has not yet been determined by [[baraminology | baraminologists]] whether the four anteater species form a [[holobaramin]], or if all they are in fact [[Baraminology|apobaramin]]ic or [[Baraminology|polybaramin]]ic. After the Flood, anteaters which bred from the Ark passengers migrated to America.
In accordance with their worldview, a majority of secular biologists regard [[Theory of evolution|evolution]] from earlier species as the most likely explanation for the origin of the anteaters.
