of the giant anteater seem to have been collected in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve. Two of them, both females, are preserved as skins and skulls. Of these, FMNH 88890 is obviously the younger animal, with a co-ossified occiput but otherwise unfused cranial sutures; the skull is lightly built, and partially disarticulated. The second, FMNH 88891, is much larger and has a more heavily

[Gramineae]). They wag their tails back and forth as they walk. They have large claws on their front feet, which they tuck in when they walk around. Their hind footprints look like a human child’s. They have a very elongated snout and a very long and thin tongue. They have a stripe around their neck. Their eyes and ears are small.

REMARKS: Matses interviews about giant anteaters are of particular interest because most of what is known about the natural history of this magnificent species is based on fieldwork in savanna habitats (e.g., Redford, 1985; Shaw et al., 1987; Medri et al., 2003). Although Matses information is sparse and generally agrees with the scientific literature, their observation that giant anteaters are a preferred prey of jaguars is noteworthy because the high frequency of jaguar attacks on

Giant anteaters are predators of social insects, and they are widely believed to feed almost exclusively on termites and ants (Redford, 1985, 1986). However, Matses observations suggest that stingless bees might be an important alternative food resource in Amazonia. In upland savannas (e.g., the Cerrado; Redford, 1985), giant anteaters are said to feed mostly on termites, whereas populations in seasonally inundated grasslands (e.g., the Llanos and Pantanal; Medri et al., 2003) appear to eat mostly ants. Judging from Matses observations, Amazonian populations of

). The feeding bouts of giant anteaters are said to be very brief (usually less than a minute; Redford, 1985), so it is interesting that the Matses say they feed for a long time at leaf-cutter ant nests.
