| One of these species is the tamandua, called by the Spano-Americans Osso hormiguero. |
| Figs. 107 and 108 show the entire abdominal portion of the alimentary tract in tamandua bivittata, the little ant-eater of Brazil. |
| I observe that Rudolphi distinctly refers to this edentate as the tamandua. |
| The tamandua feeds on ants and termites which it catches with its long, sticky tongue. |
| When left by the tamandua to their own devices there were myriads still surviving. |
| The tamandua is much less than the tamanoir, being only three and a half feet in length, while the latter is over seven. |
