whatthefauna:

This is the silky anteater that lives in the trees of Central and South America. Despite being the smallest living anteater (weighing less than a pound), it has an aggressive defense strategy. When threatened, it will grip a limb with its hind legs and prehensile tail, stand upright, and hold its front claws near its face. In this position, the anteater will punch at any predators that get too close with its sharp claws.
