Ant Eaters.

Ant eaters are in the curious posi-
ton of being practically unable to open
their mouths. 1t may almost be said
indeed. that they have no mouths to
open. There is just a small. round
urifice at the end of the snout, through
which about two feet of wormlike
tongue can wriggle out. and as this
tongue is bathed with liquid glue in
stead of saliva every ant which it
touches adheres to it. and the animal
licks the insects up by hundreds at a
time.
