I found your website through the Thesis Gallery and wanted to compliment you on your design work. The website looks gorgeous! And your content is fun & informative to boot! I'm an animal lover- and there just doesn't seem to be enough blogs out there with nicely researched articles. Well done. :) Cheers, Jami Hi, first time visitor.

While I'm not seeing any specific references to tamanduas swallowing stones to help grind up their food, I have seen a few mentions of anteaters in general eating small rocks and dirt and such for that purpose. So I'm just not sure. Maybe one of our biologist readers knows. I did just find out that the gizzard stones are called gastroliths, which is a neat word.
