Is it a tail or a blanket?

Due to its diet of little nutritional value, the giant anteater has a slow metabolism and, therefore, it is difficult to regulate its own body temperature. To solve this problem, the species has developed the habit of hiding from the heat or cold inside forests.

But that's not the only strategy. Despite living in the tropics, the giant anteater has a dense coat, especially on its tail. When he lies down to sleep, he makes a shallow cavity in the ground and places his tail over his body. The furry tail works as a thermal insulator and also helps to camouflage the animal.

Females, after about 190 days of gestation, also use the tail as a blanket for their offspring while they are suckled. […]
