Description
The largest and most widespread Anteater, this Hadrosaur is a highly specialised insectivore. Pilosaurs' (meaning 'hairy basals') sense of smell are some of the most sensitive in the animal kingdom due to their convuluted nasal chambers and enlarged olfactory bulb (other hadrosaurs lack the latter). Its teeth are exceptionally short but functional none-the-less, grinding down armoured insects. Other adaptations include long inwards pointing claws on its hands, which are themselves adapted for digging and clutching. Its countershaded down helps it camouflage in the plains in which it roams. Giant Anteaters make common prey items for medium-sized theropods due to their slow nature and relative lack of defences. Because of this, they spend most of their time in the trees, comming down only to eat and reproduce. Anteaters can detect pheromones from the opposite sex many miles away. Termites form the bulk of their diet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sketched a couple of Hadrosaur designs in my sketchbook which is why the art style is different. I'm still experimenting with my workflow so bare with me if my style keeps jumping around. I think I might stick with the grey background as it's a bit more neutral than the brown so I may update the others to suit.
