Northern Tamanduas are a species of anteater very similar to the Southern Tamandua. They are very solitary and generally nocturnal, although they do occasionally become active during the day. They spend a little less than half of their time in trees, but almost all of their time hunting for ants and termites, which compose the vast majority of their diet. A Northern Tamandua can eat as many as 9,000 ants in a single day, despite this, they are not observed doing significant damage to any of the many nests they may visit.
