I was thrilled to see and photograph a Giant Anteater on our Brazil tour, this is an animal that I have wanted to see in the wild since I was a little kid. We were lucky to get one out in the open in nice light by the roadside when traveling from one lodge to the next. I thought the pano crop suited his shape well.

Hello Nate, ... Well done to capture a moment , to remember! Interesting looking guy!
Like its positioning and movement! Clear and sharp too! Odd looking with the long snout and smaller eye.
Thanks for sharing

Nate: a very good shot which shows excellent detail in the animal. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of contrast as the image looks a bit flat on my monitor. Richard
Hi Nate,
Good image of an unusual creature. It is nice to see pangolins and anteaters on a single screen shot of NPN. A touch more contrast should help show off this guy better.....................................Jim
Hey Nate,
A most bizarre critter...and very cool to have captured it! Congrats on the sighting and lots of envy over the photo op!!
Cheers...

Nate,
What a great experience to see one of these in the wild, I remember them from the days of Zoo Quest with David Attenborough.
In all honesty I cannot remember ever seeing one of these posted anywhere before.
I agree on the contrast suggestions
Glad to hear you finally had this opportunity Nate, what a neat looking mammal!
Great details and head turn towards ya, love this one from its elongated shout to its big bushy tail
Well done
