Anteaters sleep on the ground primarily for safety and comfort. Their elongated bodies and lack of natural defenses make them vulnerable to predators, so finding a secure spot on the ground allows them to rest while minimizing the risk of being spotted. Additionally, the ground provides a stable surface for their large size and unique anatomy, making it easier for them to conserve energy during their long periods of inactivity.
