Are South American anteaters that eat ants and termites viviparous or egg-laying?

Anteaters are found in forests, grasslands, deciduous forests and rainforests in Central and South America from the southernmost tip of Mexico to Brazil and Paraguay. So is it viviparous or egg-laying? According to South American animal data, anteaters are mammals that begin to mate and give birth to one litter each spring. The chest has six nipples and the average lactation period is 7 months. The big anteater takes good care of its children, and almost throughout the breastfeeding period, it takes care of the cubs painstakingly for fear that other animals will hurt their beloved cubs. As a result, the big anteater always carries its cubs on its back and keeps them inseparable until the next pregnancy of the mother.

Anteaters tear open the nests of ants and termites with powerful forelegs, hunt with long tongues, swallow them whole, and grind them against the thickened pylorus of their stomachs. All anteaters appear slow and clumsy when moving on the ground. Any of two arboreal genera with forepaw claws used for scratching and hanging and moving along the trunk in alternating movements of both legs. Small anteaters are completely arboreal and forage in tall trees; annular anteaters, mainly arboreal and often active on the ground, are nocturnal animals. On the other hand, the big anteater is completely terrestrial and is mainly diurnal animals. when it is in danger, it stands on its hind legs and uses its tail or back as a pillar to form a stable tripod posture, tearing with its opponents with its paws. Although the head has no defensive equipment, strong forelimbs and very sharp claws are powerful "weapons". Large anteaters live mainly in wet forests and swamps, are active during the day or night, and are good at swimming; spotted-necked anteaters live in trees and often go down to the ground; small anteaters live in trees. The latter two species often hide in dense forests or in tree holes during the day, come out at night to find food, and often destroy ant nests with forelimb claws. Eat ants, termites and other insects. The tongue of a large anteater can stick out its mouth for more than 0.5 meters.

An anteater's tongue can reach an astonishing 60 centimeters long and can stretch 150 times a minute. The tongue is covered with small thorns and a lot of mucus [1], and the ant will not be able to escape after it is stuck. Anteaters eat so much that they can eat ants that weigh one pound (454 grams) at a time. It is beneficial in restraining ant damage. The whole body has a lot of hair, brown, and the skin is so hard and thick that he is not afraid of the sharp teeth and claws of the beast.

An anteater eats ants in one nest for only 140 days. After eating, it leaves and changes to another nest. With this way of eating, it can ensure the survival of the ants in the nest in its territory, so that it can come back to have a good meal another day.
