Description
This is what I imagine one of the mini-anteaters from this picture would look like when it's an adult.I have no idea how big it is, but probably pretty big. Also: don't ask what it eats. I don't think I'd like to know.

Haha. I would too. I think it's the smug grin. Nobody can resist the smug grin.

And I always wanted to ride down the street on a giant gene-modified anteater...

It would be fantastic. The look on people's faces alone...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. But soon they'd want a ride too

Haha. Then they can get their own anteater.

Aren't they a rare breed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well they are pretty uncommon as-of-yet but that's mostly because they were created by 4's Overlord and they're still figuring out exactly what the extensive gene manipulation has resulted in.
The requirements are pretty simple. Treat them as highly intelligent cats and you should do fine. The most important thing is to brush them regularly, or their tails tends to get tangled.

XD Oh, and how about couches and other 'scratchable' area that cats like to scratch? With their claws I figure I's soon have to buy new stuff o_o....

Oh, well, that can be a bit of a problem until they learn they're not allowed to do that. But their claws tend to be a bit dull most of the time, so they usually don't create a lot of damage with them. And they learn pretty quickly.

Hmm, wait *has an idea* - can they knit on their claws?>D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm... I think they could learn to yeah.

Aw, thanks. I had a lot of fun with him. It's weird you don't see more critters based on anteaters, there's so many possibilities with them when you start to think about it.

Yay anteaters 
I can't think of something smart to say

Not needed around here. Random celebrations of anteaters are welcome.

they're could probably still eat ants... but they'd have to be like uber ants for it be worth something like this fella x3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. I'm pretty sure ants that are that big would be trouble in themselves.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but but but they have those huuuuge claws they can do it ;3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. Oh, I meant the giant ants would be trouble for us. I'm pretty sure the anteaters can handle it fine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahh i hadn't thought about that....
giant ant paper?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good plan. Just be careful, or you'll get trapped yourself.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. Sure. I don't see a problem with that.

Thanks! I thought it was about time I did something with some natural colors for a change.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Neither did I when I started. But it turns out the smaller eyes develop later.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm. Learn something new every day, I guess...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... That tends to happen when you make up random critters.

^_^
The strange triangle design on it's shoulder intruiges me. Tattoo? Natural pattern for it? Brand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most likely it's a brand, since it matches the mark on #4's hands, but that might just be a coincidence.

Yaye, approval.
You even get to decide fun things like how big they are and stuff like that, since I can't be bothered (and I still claim you hold half the responsibility).
But really. Anteaters get far too little love. I hereby rebel against all those boring cats and wolves and foxes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
That's so true! Seriously, people act like all interesting animals are canines, felines, or equines. Or raptors, those too. And then all the REALLY cool stuff like anteaters, bats, marsupials, armadillos, and anything that's not a mammal or even a vertebrate gets overlooked! It's CRAZY!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess it's just because those are the animals almost everybody agree are cool or cute. Personally I'm happy as long as I get to see the occasional platypus or cacti... Cacti would be fun. Poor plants never get any attention either.

Haha. Euphorbias are nice too.

*looks up*
OOH, poinsettias are in Euphorbia? Awesome!

YOUR REBELLION IS DENIED. *censor*

Aw, but it was a good rebellion full of exciting new critters...

What? *blink* Oh. Well... ok. The Emperor hears nothing this time. ^_^ Exciting new critters, you say?
