Well, isn't that a happy little question! Anteaters breathe through their nostrils just like you and me, but they have a special adaptation in their nose that helps them avoid inhaling any pesky ants while they're munching away. It's nature's way of making sure they can enjoy their tasty meals without any interruptions. Just imagine those little anteaters peacefully breathing in and out as they go about their day, isn't that just delightful?
Mammals with long noses, like elephants and anteaters, have a unique sense of smell that is highly developed. This allows them to detect scents from far distances and helps them in finding food, identifying predators, and communicating with others of their species. Additionally, their long noses often serve other functions, such as acting as a snorkel for swimming or as a tool for manipulating objects. These specialized adaptations set them apart from other animals in the animal kingdom.
They have long noses from the start. If what you are thinking of doesn't have a long nose, chances are it isn't a Dachshund.

Anteaters do not need teeth they just use a long sticky tongue to collect the ants.
Most puppies/dogs have wet noses and sometimes they get dry but not for long wet noses are a good sign
twice as long as one half of the tongue
