Fast Food Specialists From the National Museum of Natural History Rush, rush, rush. Being an anteater is no joke, but fortunately, you're just made for the job with your powerful claws, keen nose, and an amazingly long, flexible tongue. You might think ants and termites would be an easy meal, but guess again. Their physiology and social structure provide an effective defense against the much larger anteater. Visitors will be fascinated by the unique ways that anteaters of different species have mastered the art of eating, how they are adapted to their environment, the different species in the anteater family, where they live, and more.
Anteaters features a diorama showing an anteater feeding on a termite mound.
The exhibition also offers a vibrant graphic style, humorous text, low-tech interactives, cartoons, and video components. Each exhibition will focus on a single mammal, discussing its unique characteristics as well as features it shares with all other mammals.
