All species of anteater, pygmy, giants, and lesser(tamandua) anteaters all have just one baby at a time though occasionally may have twins. Twins never survive in the wild as the mothers only have room for one baby to ride on their backs. Babies stay with their mothers for about a year, so anteaters can have several babies in a lifetime.

∙ 7y agoThe breeding of anteaters is not that well studied. Some scientists believe breeding between wild giant anteaters takes place in the Southern Hemisphere's autumn season (March to May), probably during a brief encounter. Others suggest breeding in the wild can take place throughout the year.
Gestation lasts about 180 days (6 months).
Anteaters are sexually mature in 2.5-4 years and live to 15 years in the wild (and up to 26 in captivity).
