Usage notes
• There seems to be confusion in common terminology concerning the two tamandua species: the northern and the southern tamandua. Depending on source, the terms lesser anteater and collared anteater are used to refer to either or both species. Languages other than English are not necessarily any more logical. The two species look very similar and their habitats overlap.
