😴Does Monday have you feeling like this pygmy anteater (Cyclopes didactylus)?

This tiny arboreal critter is the world’s smallest anteater and only grows about 17.7 inches (45 centimeters) in length, much of it tail. It lives in the Amazon rainforest and is seldom seen because it’s nocturnal and spends most of its time in the canopy. Its ideal home is a ceiba tree because the tree’s seed pods are similar in appearance to the anteater’s own silky fur—which helps camouflage it from predators like the Harpy Eagle and Spectacled Owl.
