I work in a pet store with a self serve dog wash, and as I was cleaning one of the tubs I saw a couple of little guys

Definitely one of your nose dogs, and I think they were sisters. One had grey markings and the other had light brown markings. They came to about halfway up my thighs (for reference I'm 5'2) so they were probably still puppies? Either that or they're short as shit

They did Not like the blow dryer.

Alvinho, the albino giant anteater (he’s wearing a GPS collar).

Nobody talks about the termites killed by anteaters...... it's right there in the name. ANT eaters. No one even cares that they eat more termites than ants. There's a stigma

"This slow mover is a silky anteater. His giant claw and a gripping prehensile tail help keep his balance as he walks the mangrove tightropes of the swamp." BBC Earth

Get comfy, little guy—you’ll be there for a while! Did you know that a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) can spend the first year of its life on its mother’s back? This mostly solitary species, which can be found in Central and South America, roams a large territory: Each individual inhabits an area of up to 22,200 acres (9,000 hectares). Fortunately for mother anteaters, piggyback rides end before babies are fully grown. An adult giant anteater can weigh up to 85 lbs (39 kg)!

Anteaters carry their babes on their backs so they look like part of the parent if a predator attacks. They are also very fun to draw
