Anteaters are found in North and South America, Africa and Australia.They live in tropical and subtropical regions, searching for food by scent and preferring to eat ants and termites.

Anteaters are slow and clumsy when moving on the ground. When in danger, their powerful forelimbs and very sharp claws are powerful "weapons".

The anteater only eats ants that are about 140 days old in a colony and then leaves for another colony. By eating in this way, it ensures that the ants in its own territory survive to come back another day for another meal.

All anteaters have an excellent sense of smell and rely on their nose to sniff out the anthill and then use their sharp claws to get it open. They are always very careful to keep the anthill from being completely destroyed.

For today's drawing tutorial, let's learn how to draw an anteater. It has an elongated head, extremely small eyes and ears, a fat tail, and long sharp claws.

Their eyesight is severely degraded, approaching blindness by night, and they have even lost their teeth along the path of evolution. How about it, are you interested in this gentle natured animal? If you like it, follow the step-by-step instructions below and try to draw it.
