The anteater's main enemies are jaguars and pumas, which hunt them in the grasslands, swampy areas, and forests where they live. When threatened, anteaters can rear up on their hind legs, roaring loudly and slashing at an attacker with powerful front legs and sharp claws. When in danger, these mild-mannered insect eaters can appear quite ferocious, sending a predator off to find an easier meal.
