GIANT anteater

Leaving the Anteater House we made our way to see the Giant Anteater who, unlike the Tamanduas, lived outside. 

Wilson's Mum, Mrs Vermilingua, had always told him to keep away from Giant Anteaters, but he thinks that was just because she thought they'd beat him up and steal his ants. With this one living in an enclosure, W figured he'd be okay, and that it would be rude not to even say Hello.


As we followed Wilson's little Zoo Map, he remarked that he thought he might try being nocturnal himself and staying up all night himself. I pointed out that when we went out, everywhere would be closed... and that Overnight TV is even worse than Daytime TV. 


W then told me that having a girlfriend who spoke no English AND WASHED was totally out of the question. The relationship would be doomed even if the aggressively protective Barios had let him see her. 


'Think about it,' he said, 'I'd have to take that armadillo on our honeymoon with us just so I knew what she was talking about!'
