Hi @senseicat

I grew up on a farm and there were a lot of ant eaters. They are very slow, and I ended up chasing one while we were doing the rounds for the crops, just for some fun. They can also be very pesky as they dig up the farm dirt roads to get to termites.

Here however it is known as an Aardvark. You can view the difference in the image below and diffen also explain how they are different.
