We Bet You Haven't Seen This Video Of Anteater Yawning With Its Long Tongue Sticking Out

From adorable cats playing piano to breathtaking travel adventures, an unexpected star has emerged on the internet which has captivated everyone’s attention. It wasn’t a celebrity, nor a trendy dance move. Instead, it was a video of an anteater in all its sleepy glory, stretching its jaws wide and yawning. The focal point of the video was the anteater’s abnormally lengthy tongue, a feature most people hadn’t seen or even imagined before.

The video was shared on Instagram by the handle, Nfwctally with the caption, “Have you ever seen (or heard) a giant anteater yawn?”

The video quickly went viral as soon as it was shared. Most people couldn’t get over the anteater’s unusually long tongue, leading to lots of comments and funny jokes. Many also noticed the jaw structure and expressed their shock at seeing something like that for the first time. Despite being shared a while back, the video still managed to rack up an impressive 2 million likes, proving that nature’s wonders never cease to amaze.

One user playfully quipped, “What that tongue do,” while another user exclaimed, ” Is this a real creature?”

A comment emerged praising the anteater’s charm, with a user expressing, “Anteaters are such adorable beautiful creatures. Truly magnificent.” “What the hell is this,” wrote one user.

It is worth noting that this isn’t the first time these fascinating creatures have captured attention. A old video featuring an anteater munching on ants and insects raised eyebrows as it appeared to have two heads, using both to relish its meal. Shared on Twitter by Buiten Gebieden, the video left viewers scratching their heads, emphasizing the enigmatic nature of these fascinating creatures.

The caption, “Took me a minute…,” hinted the anteater’s behaviour was mysterious, prompting people to watch the video and figure it out. The situation is quite deceptive and could easily trick anyone. Without a solid understanding of the species, figuring out the truth behind it would be nearly impossible.

In another adorable incident, Eury, the 22-year-old giant anteater’s unique morning routine grabbed attention. Instead of eagerly starting his day, he opts for a cosy approach by covering his head with his tail, essentially using it as a built-in blanket, when his caretakers attempt to wake him.
