It’s Wednesday, so hang in there like the silky anteater (Cyclopes didactylus)! This critter, which spends most of its life in the trees, uses long claws and a prehensile tail to hang high above the ground. It’s the world’s smallest anteater and only grows about 17.7 inches (45 centimeters) in length, much of it tail. Fun fact: This mammal’s ideal home is a ceiba tree because the tree’s seed pods are similar in appearance to the anteater’s own silky fur, camouflaging this small species from predators.
