Giant anteaters require more space as their habitats become less forested, according to international research. The researchers attached trackers to 19 wild anteaters and found that in areas with lower proportions of tree cover, the anteaters had larger home ranges. The team suggest that this is due to the giant anteater's inability to regulate body temperature effectively. They also found that male anteaters tended to have larger home ranges than females, probably to increase their chance [...]
