Living with Anteaters

Pua was tired because it had been laundry day the day before so her biorhythms were already upset but she made the best of it and took a leisurely stole off of the main path.

Sniffing

Heading through the leaves

This smells interesting

Any ants in here?

This looks promising

There should be something here

Guess I'll keep looking

Taking a break.

This used to be Stewie favorite path. He'd get spooked easy and climb the fence though. Not easy pealing a scared anteater off a cyclone fence.

Heading into the woods

Hey I found a burrow

This was an interesting tree

She spent a bit of time digging around in the small hallow

Time to head back

When she gets tired she likes me to lead the way

Leaves everywhere

time to go

She was very sleepy

She curled up and slept under my feet

For those not on our email list Pua has been deemed officially too cute

Got any cheese for me?

An Australian Christmas card?

Goodnight Pua

I thought it was cut how she had her hand in this one.

Jupiter Chillin in his dirt box

Coming down the hard way

she turned around to come down

Trying to open the door

Pua once again is fascinated by the fridge. She found out I am keeping blue cheese in there again.

I will open this

Hey, what's on TV?

Wait it this the wrong side?

Pua gets a fresh log

Mmm rotten goodness

Licking out the insect holes

Time to clean out the ketchup bottle

She later licks up her ketchupy drool

Yum

Was trying to get a shot of her tongue

It's to fast but you can see the lines her tongue made in the ketchup if you look close.

anteater FAQ

Pua has many friends and fans out there across the globe. A little anteater sharing her story and helping bring the world a little closer together and a little closer to nature. Some people will ask
to send gifts for the animals, sweaters for Pua and things like that. We will except them and are grateful and touched that some would be moved to do so. A note letting us know a package is coming is always a good idea.

Ants are always appreciated from a reputable source like: http://www.antsalive.com/hornedlizard.htm

POBox 97, Oakridge, OR 97463

Or you could always donate some money to go to animal care instead and save the whole shipping issue and cost. But we are not asking for anything and are not a nonprofit. We are
just trying to make things simple for those that do feel moved to send something.

Funny thing this happened just a day and a half before it snowed!

Run Pua Run

It was laundry day but Pua was hyper and had other ideas so we took her for a hike to wear her out a bit

Checking out a stump

Going into a stump

The tail came in handy to keep her from going down the burrow tunnels. The stump hallow goes down a few feet then tunnels out.

Heading back down the trail

After a long run out it was time to walk back

Off the trail

Marching along

Big tree

I think the woodpeckers make those holes

An interesting log

She clawed into it a bit

Nothing here

Another interesting log

Crossing the bridge home

A man passed us on the way seemed to be looking around for something. Thought maybe he lost his dog or something. He did stop to look at Pua though. Then he came back once we were in the car and he went and circled a tree and pulled some ivy off. Odd. But then on the other end of the park on the way out I saw some people and dogs in orange vests. So thinking they were doing search and rescue training and he was trying to lay a confusing trail. Wonder what the dogs thought of Pua's scent?

That was a long walk

I'm ready for bed now
