in Central America and the northwestern part of South America; and the southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla), which can be found further south. Tamanduas have coarse, yellowish, or brownish fur with black markings and are about half the size of their rarer relatives, the giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla). They can grow to be about 60 centimeters long, with a prehensile tail of approximately the same length, and reach weights of 6 to 13 pounds.

Tamanduas are occasionally found on the ground, but they prefer living in the trees, where they hunt for ant and termite nests. Like all anteaters, tamanduas have long snouts and extremely long tongues that they use to collect and eat their prey. Since no teeth are necessary for this kind of meal, anteaters' teeth have been reduced during their evolution. However, unlike the completely toothless giant anteaters, tamanduas still have some small teeth remaining (which are useful for consuming the fruits that supplement their diets). They use the sharp claws on their front paws to open ant and termite nests, but they are careful to not destroy the nests completely and take just a small portion of the colony before they go for the next nest. This strategy preserves the colonies for future feedings. Tamanduas are primarily active during the night and sleep through the day in hollow trees or the forks of trees, securing themselves by wrapping their tails around branches.
