The Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya, has the largest number of giant anteaters. But few know the anteaters rarely get to eat their favorite dish.

¡°Hey, they are not eating ants!¡± a visitor exclaimed, watching the animals extend their long tongues from their cage to lick food paste from a bucket.

This pasty substance is made of water mixed with pellets that contain beans and chicken meat.
