Our new stuffed anteater by Fiesta has joined the rest of the company here at Tapir and Friends. You'll find him/her congenial, soft, and huggable. This anteater is house-broken and plays well with others. What more could you ask? Actually, we've had the anteater in our showroom for a few months and finally got a chance to put it online and share it with you. Our anteater is well acclimated to living with other stuffed animals.Online this giant anteater is classed among our "Edentates." Anteaters, along with pangolins, have no teeth (hence, "edentate"). We have other animals in this category also. Some belong there, some probably do not. If you can think of a better name for our Edentate category, please let us know. We had to categorize them for the web site one way or another. One fun thing about putting a new toy online is the chance to do some reading and research and learn about the animal. It's always fascinating! Animals come in such a variety of shapes and sizes, but also of habits and habitats, food needs and preferences, and abilities - some of which are quite astounding. Did you know that giant anteaters actually crush small insects such as termites with their STOMACH MUSCLES? Those are some ab crunches I'd like to simulate! Our stuffed anteater won't tear up your home looking for termites. You can feel confident that you'll have a friend rather than a handful of trouble when you take yours home today! Have fun!
