So here's a unique fact anteaters change color. I have mentioned before how they secrete a rusty/orange film from modified sweat glands. This is mostly seen on the chest as they rub them selves on things to mark them but happens all over some.

I had not bathed Pua in a long time and she got a bath the other day. I shampooed her twice and the water was still coming off orange.

Notice she is now more golden blond instead of platinum blond like she was. This could explain why wild ones tend to look orange. They do get wet a lot in the rainforest. Maybe should start misting her sometimes like I used to. The golden on the top side has faded after a few days.
