- The Photographer
- James Broscombe spent 520 days between March 2009 and October 2010 living in the remote Deep South of Guyana. Living in an Amerindian Village in a tradition thatch house enabled James to makes friends in the local community and compile a unique daily photo blog exploring lifestyles and customs of the Amerindian people of the North Amazon region.
Don't think I have even seen a real picture of one of these before, ungainly looking creature and isn't his tail amazing! Are they dangerous?

ReplyDeleteGlennis - in response to your query, I found the following on http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/giant-anteater.html
ReplyDeleteAnteaters are not aggressive but they can be fierce. A cornered anteater will rear up on its hind legs, using its tail for balance, and lash out with dangerous claws. The giant anteater's claws are some four inches (ten centimeters) long, and the animal can fight off even a puma or jaguar.
