Yes he is huge! This is an anteater. Its long sticky tongue can reach 60 cm, and it can work up to 160 times a minute: this is how the animal collects up to 30,000 insects a day! By the way, despite their formidable claws, anteaters do not completely destroy other people's houses - they leave part of the colony so that it can recover. A pair of anteaters were brought from Denmark in 2020. Our zoo became the second in Russia (they are still kept in Kaliningrad) where these animals can be seen.
