Plural of anteater; mammals with long snouts and sticky tongues that feed primarily on ants and termites.
Compound of 'ant' (Old English 'ǽmette') + 'eater' (from Old English 'etan' to consume), a descriptive name for animals with this diet.
Giant anteaters can eat up to 30,000 ants per day using a tongue that's longer than their head — evolution specialized them so completely for this one job that they have almost no teeth.
