GREAT ANT-EATER OR ANT-BEAR. One of the strangest appearing of mammals is the Ant-Bear, of which a characteristic picture is here 



Riven, depicting the long slender head, the coarse long fur which increases in length toward the flanks and tail, and the heavy, short limbs. It lives on Ants 

 and their larva? and is a hatmless and helpless animal, its long clumsy clawa not permitting escape from its enemies. {Myrmccophagajubata.)
