The Anteater inhabits savannas and dry forests in Bolivia.

 

Considered once to be the god of the rain forest, jaguars still roam these habitats but are endangered in almost their whole range of distribution. Once hunted for their valuable fur, other influences are threatening this wonderful species, including loss of habitat, disturbance of their habitats by cattle and hunting by cattle-owners to protect their herds.
