Rewilding in Argentina helps giant #anteaters return to south Brazil https://news.mongabay.com/2024/02/rewilding-in-argentina-helps-giant-anteaters-return-to-south-brazil/
"Recent giant #anteater sightings in #RioGrandeDoSul state indicate the species has returned to southern #Brazil, where it had been considered #extinct for more than a century. Experts concluded that the #GiantAnteater ventured across the border from the #Iberá Park in northeastern #Argentina where a #rewilding project has released around 110 individuals back into the habitat."
Inspired by @eclectech but definitely less experienced with this sort of fun

It’s #WorldAnteaterDay so here’s Salvador Dali’s (1904-1989) #anteater bookplate design c. 1930 for friend & Surrealist movement founder André Breton (1896-1966), whose nickname became “le tamanoir.” Bonus photo of Dali walking a Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) in Paris in 1969.
Happy #WorldAnteaterDay !
From the House of Fabergé menagerie, here is a diamond-eyed jasper #anteater figure, purchased by The Walters Art Museum founder Henry Walters on a trip to St. Petersburg in 1900. Now in the museum’s permanent collection: https://art.thewalters.org/detail/14933/anteater/
Love having the chance to go back through the last years' worth of #Watercolor pics for #Repostober!
I'm noting a distinct lack of #dogs... maybe I'll paint a dog today
I agree 100%.
THAT is the way into the future (less centralized control, more resilience, redundancy, etc.).
That is also why I do not want it to be devoured by an #anteater in an ant colony, as it should prevail in the long run.
I have not been here long enough to evaluate the nice #kaleidoscope analogy. From what I have seen in the short time, I'd agree.
However, I think it will be more like an elephant (or #anteater ;))) foot that tramples the kaleidoscope if #Metas are allowed unlimited access.
Meet Jordan Wernyj, our deputy visitor services manager!
We asked Jordan what his favourite specimen in the Museum is, and he had a wonderful choice: our Anteater
“I think it has a magnificent tail and sharp pattern across the fur. I like that their survival traits are distinctly portrayed in their physical form. Giant claws to dig open ant or termite nests, long snouts to eat from them, and a bushy tail for camouflage and sunshade.”
Hi, I'm Antnommer (or Ant, if you prefer)! I'm a mid-30s nerd from #Pittsburgh , PA. I do frontend #webdev professionally.
My main passion is #entomology , and I share a lot of pics and facts on #insects , #spiders , and other creepy crawlies. I stream a lot of #videogames on #Twitch , especially #DayZ and #homebrew. I love console #modding and #retro computers. I collect #Transformers and watch a lot of #b-movies.
I'm also a #furry , and my fursona is a giant #anteater !
