Adaptations
The ground in the rainforest is very soft and muddy. This helps the anteater because he walks on his knuckles. One adaptation of the giant anteater is its hearing. The anteater can hear the ants. The anteaters follow the sound of the ants working and follow it until they can find the ants. Another adaptation of the giant anteater is its sense of smell. Its sense of smell is 40 times more powerful than a man's. Giant anteaters sense of smell is so good they can smell ants and termites from miles away.
