Gross anatomy and surgical approach to the humeral shaft in giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)
(2016-09-01)
Anteater forelimbs are distinguished morphologically from domestic animals, especially due to their unique movement and their natural habits. A knowledge of the pectoral limb anatomy and the proper surgical approach are ...
GROSS ANATOMY AND SURGICAL APPROACH TO THE HUMERAL SHAFT IN GIANT ANTEATER (MYRMECOPHAGA TRIDACTYLA)
(Amer Assoc Zoo Veterinarians, 2016-09-01)
Anteater forelimbs are distinguished morphologically from domestic animals, especially due to their unique movement and their natural habits. A knowledge of the pectoral limb anatomy and the proper surgical approach are ...
Movement patterns and space use of the first giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) monitored in São Paulo State, Brazil
(2017-01-02)
This study analyzes a giant anteater’s (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) movement patterns and space use in São Paulo, Brazil. It is the first study to track a giant anteater with Iridium-GPS. The anteater traveled an average ...
Chromosome study of Anteaters (Myrmecophagideae, Xenarthra): a preliminary report
(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2004-01-01)
Anteaters belong to the Order Xenarthra / Family Myrmecophagidae and are the only members without teeth. There are three genera with four living species in the family Myrmecophagidae: Myrmecophaga tridactyla (giant anteater), ...
Gait analysis in giant anteater (myrmecophaga tridactyla) with the use of a pressure-sensitive walkway
(Amer Assoc Zoo Veterinarians, 2015-06-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the kinetic and temporospatial parameters of clinically healthy juvenile giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) by using a pressure-sensing walkway. Three free-ranging clinically ...
Helmintological characterization of giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) and lesser anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla) roadkilled on BR-050 and BR-455 highways (Minas Gerais, Brazil)
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina Veterinaria Zootecnia, 2020-11-01)
Myrmecophaga tridactyla, giant anteater and Tamandua tetradactyla, collared anteater are nationally widespread mammals. Despite that, their populations are in danger, especially the first one, categorized as vulnerable ...
Giant Anteater Population Density Estimation and Viability Analysis Through Motion-Sensitive Camera Records
(2021-11-01)
Giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) populations are decreasing throughout their range. We tested a methodology for individual identification using camera records and fur patterns to estimate the giant anteater population ...
First isolation and genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii in a free-living giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) revealed a unique non-archetypal genotype
(2020-04-01)
The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can infect virtually all warm-blooded animals worldwide but little is known of its infection in the endangered giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla). The present study found ...
Repair of non-lethal vascular injury caused by giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) in BrazilReparo de lesão vascular não letal causada por tamanduá-bandeira (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) no Brasil
(2022-01-01)
The giant anteater is a mammal found in Central and South America. These animals have claws that can reach 6.5 centimeters in length, which they use to dig anthills to obtain food and for defense. We report the case of a ...
Skeletal morphology of the forelimb of Myrmecophaga Tridactyla
(2015-12-01)
Anteater forelimbs are morphologically adapted to obtain food and to provide defense and locomotion. Four species are known, but there are few anatomical studies presenting the morphologic features of each species. The aim ...
