Anteaters can be found in tropical dry forests, rainforests, grasslands and savannas. The silky anteater (Cyclopes didactylus) is an arboreal specialist that is most commonly found in rainforest. The tamandua are arboreal and terrestrial opportunists in regards to terrain and food resources. They are most commonly found in dry forests near streams and lakes. The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is almost entirely terrestrial and usually found in grasslands and savannas. It is a solitary animal, found in many habitats, including grasslands, deciduous forests, and rainforests. It feeds mainly on ants and termites, sometimes up to 30,000 insects in a single day.

The Anteater is found in central and South America in forests and swampy regions.
