definition: An anteater is a furry animal that has a long, sticky tongue. Anteaters don't have teeth, and they use their tongues to catch and eat ants and other insects. Anteaters live in Central America and South America.
I saw an anteater at the zoo. I didn't see its long tongue, but I saw its long snout and its long tail!
