Anteaters do not have very good eyesight but they do have an excellent sense of smell and use it to sniff out sources of food. When they find an ant or termite nest they tear open the nest with their strong fore-claws and then probe the debris with their long thin tongues.

Do anteaters live in dirt?

Anteaters do not live in dirt; instead, they inhabit a variety of environments, including grasslands, savannas, and rainforests. They create burrows in the ground for shelter, but they prefer areas with ample insect populations, particularly ants and termites, which are their primary food source. While they may dig and burrow in the dirt to find food, their homes are not simply dirt, but rather part of a more complex habitat.
