However, the specific color can vary depending on the species and individual:
* Giant Anteaters have grayish-brown fur with a black band running down their back.
* Silky Anteaters have soft, golden-brown fur.
* Tamanduas have short, coarse fur that can range from brown to reddish-brown and may have darker patches on their limbs.
So, while gray and brown are the most common colors, anteaters can also have other shades depending on the species.
