Silky anteaters, also known as pygmy anteaters, primarily inhabit the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. They are commonly found in countries such as Honduras, Costa Rica, Brazil, and parts of the Amazon Basin. These creatures prefer arboreal environments, often residing in the canopies of trees where they feed on ants and termites. Their specialized habitat allows them to thrive in humid, dense foliage.

The giant anteater and tamanduas constitute the family Myrmecophagidae, which means "ant-eating" in Latin, whereas the silky anteater is classified in a family of its own, Cyclopedidae. Together the two families make up the anteater suborder, Vermilingua (literally "worm-tongue" in Latin). Anteaters, along with sloths, are placed within the mammalian order Pilosa of the magnorder Xenarthra.
Some kinds can. The pygmy (silky) anteater, and the tamanduas live largely in trees, and some of the pangolins (scaly anteaters) climb well and feed on ants and other insects in trees.
