| 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 southern tamandua has an elongated snout and is covered by creamy yellow-brown fur. |
| Sloths and slender lorises can both grip tightly with all four limbs, but some mammals, like a tamandua, need their hands free for feeding, so have a gripping tail. |
| 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. |
