Book excerpt: It might be hard to believe that the silly-looking creature called the anteater could be deadly, but it’s true. These mammals primarily eat insects—lots of insects. Their tongue flies in and out of their mouth up to 160 times a minute! But they’re equipped with some deadly claws that come in handy when they’re defending themselves. Incredibly, giant anteaters have even killed people. This book is filled with surprising information about anteaters as well as mesmerizing photographs and interesting fact boxes.
