Way cool, but let's see what my old DICT.ORG says:
ANTEATER:
- toothless mammal of southern Africa and Asia having a body covered with
horny scales and a long snout for feeding on ants and termites
<http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=wn&Query=anteater>
So, with a little bit of more "variety" I'd suggest one of:
ECHIDNA:
- burrowing spine-covered monotreme of Australia having a long snout and
claws for hunting ants and termites
<http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=wn&Query=echidna>
PANGOLIN
- toothless mammal of southern Africa and Asia having a body covered with
horny scales and a long snout for feeding on ants and termites
<http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=wn&Query=pangolin>
AARDVARK
- nocturnal burrowing mammal of the grasslands of Africa that feeds on
termites; sole extant representative of the order Tubulidentata
<http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=wn&Query=aardvark>
NUMBAT
- small Australian marsupial having long snout and strong claws for feeding
on termites; nearly extinct
<http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=wn&Query=numbat>
Pier (having fun with names!)
