A giant anteater wades through the shallow stream
Published · Updated
A giant anteater wades through the shallow stream at the edge of golden grassland. Its narrow snout points toward the water, and a black shoulder stripe runs diagonally across the coarse gray-brown coat. Pale forelegs contrast with the darker body and the long bushy tail.
One front foot lifts through a small splash while the other feet stand in the clear shallows. Rounded stones interrupt the sandy streambed, and fine ripples carry the warm afternoon reflections around the animal. Trees and a low ridge rise beyond the tall grasses. The broad side view shows the distinctive body within its open setting, with textured fur and flowing water sharing the same low sunlight.
