Tamanduas don't have teeth like other mammals. Instead, they have a long, sticky tongue that helps them collect insects from nests. In the near future, Leia's favorite meals will definitely be termites and lots of ants.

What's their ideal climate?

They are native to Central and South America, so tropical to subtropical.

Edit: this baby was rescued in Costa Rica.

Well there goes my idea for non-chemical insect removal /s

Interesting, thanks! What's your favorite thing about them?

Haha, it would be hilarious if you got an anteater for pest control.

I think I love their CVS-receipt-looking tongues. I mean, just look at that glorious thing!

(If you are not from the U.S., CVS stores are known for printing ridiculously long receipts)

Just look at that tongue hanging out:
