I’m a big fan of tamanduas. They are such interesting characters. There are two species, the northern and the southern tamandua. The word tamandua itself means anteater in the South American Tupi language. This guy was going about his upside-down business of slurping ants off the bark of a tree in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica.

I love this guy! Of course, I am biased since I graduated from UC Irvine, whose mascot is the anteater. Zot!
