* Specialized Claws: Their long, powerful claws are perfect for digging. They use them to unearth insects, especially ants and termites, which make up the majority of their diet.
* Sticky Tongue: They possess a long, sticky tongue, which they use to quickly snatch up insects from their burrows.
* Powerful Jaws: Once the insects are caught, their powerful jaws crush and grind them efficiently.
* Opportunistic Feeding: While insects are their main food source, they are known to be opportunistic and will sometimes eat other small invertebrates like worms and spiders.
Important Note: Their feeding habits make them incredibly important to the ecosystem as they help control insect populations, preventing them from becoming pests.
