Beady-eyed baby anteater action

by Meg on June 7, 2009

Check out this little beady-eyed wonder, borned in a Japanese zoo. There is no ant-slurping in the video, but he does do some quality squealing and clinging-to-Mom’s-back action…

Robin C., it’s hard to go wrong with a schnozzle like that.

0:52-1:00 is way too much!! Cannot stop laughing!!!

Wow, that little mcsnozzleson really ups the ant-y in the cuteness stakes.

4 Kate 06.07.09 at 1:02 pm

D’aww…when the baby got put down, he put his…paws?…up and TOTALLY made an “UP!” noise. Reminds me of tots I used to babysit. “UP! UP!”

5 Katie 06.07.09 at 1:04 pm

The squealing is all like “Mom? MOM!…WOAH, Mooom!”

One of these days I want to see an anteater nursing…….

8 kibblenibble 06.07.09 at 1:10 pm

Baby anteater noises FTW!

9 pugsy 06.07.09 at 1:19 pm

I think I need an anteater to keep the ants out of my kitchen. Much cuter than bug spray.

I must be the only one thinks mama and baby look like they’re wearing overalls.

11 kat 06.07.09 at 1:20 pm

awwww! when it came close to falling off the chair it was *almost* as cute as the little jerboa falling off the scale!!

12 Laelya 06.07.09 at 1:21 pm

Why don’t *I* have adorable anteaters climbing all over me? I would totally let them!

13 Poohbear 06.07.09 at 1:30 pm

Sweeeeet !!!! back clinging and squawkkking !

However, I’m wondering at what point momma and bebeh got wind of THIS swimsuit fashion :

14 Katie 06.07.09 at 1:42 pm

Now I know what sound an anteater makes: “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” They’re like little Joey Russos

15 jess e. 06.07.09 at 1:42 pm

Eeeee! The squeaking! It’s so “Where’s my mom? This is untoward!”
And strong arms when he catches himself falling off the table! I gasped out loud.

16 Melissa H. 06.07.09 at 1:46 pm

I think they look like they’re wearing oldey-timey swimsuits, myself. I love that perfect V down their backs.

17 Amy 06.07.09 at 1:59 pm

Aw, I didn’t realize anteaters are so cute! Beats a can of Raid any day! So glad there was a hand to catch the little guy when he tumbled off the chair!

18 stphjay 06.07.09 at 2:08 pm

the babby is adorable but so is the adult!

19 Blondie 06.07.09 at 2:13 pm

OMG, how cute is that! When he fell off the table and squeeked out a “WHOA!” I couldn’t help but laugh at the little guy.

20 puddlepeppers 06.07.09 at 2:18 pm

Yes, old-timey swimsuits! With their builds, they would also look great
in muscle shirts and cargo shorts.l

21 Robin 06.07.09 at 2:25 pm

bahaha finally one of my submissions has made it to cuteoverload =)

22 kodalai 06.07.09 at 2:47 pm

Got to put in my “awww!” for the stuffed anteater doll they use to transport the baby around… ;)

23 eknirb 06.07.09 at 2:51 pm

Now that’s what ya call Snorgle-City.

24 harmlesslittleflea (Clare) 06.07.09 at 2:54 pm

My favourite bit has to be weighing the baby on the cuddly anteater toy to give it something to cling onto. I love the thought that they would have had to weigh the cuddly toy on its own as well. :D

25 Von Zeppelin 06.07.09 at 3:06 pm

The audio says the baby is not yet named, until they figure out whether it’s a boy or a girl. I suggest Schnozzwald if male, Nosalind if a girl.

26 Evan Waters 06.07.09 at 3:09 pm

I like how they’re trying to climb someone who’s just standing around.

27 Theresa 06.07.09 at 4:09 pm

Insane in the extended nasal membrane!

28 Theresa 06.07.09 at 4:11 pm

PS :shock:

29 fawn lust 06.07.09 at 4:15 pm

so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o cute!

30 Headtail 06.07.09 at 4:39 pm

Look mom! No hanz………..WOAH!

31 Mouse 06.07.09 at 5:00 pm

awwwwwwww… my favourite part is when it crawled on the back of the stuffed animal one! Did it think it was mom? Poor gai!

32 LizzyCat 06.07.09 at 5:30 pm

lol @ Momma Anteater climbing the zoo dude!

33 binky-mama 06.07.09 at 6:01 pm

Love the falling off the table act-shons and the “Halp meh!” squeeksies. :)

34 chanpon 06.07.09 at 6:06 pm

No fair, why wasn’t he there when I last visited this aquarium? :sob:

So much cute splay-age, cute chirping, and trying to stand up in that video for the win!! I nearly died when he almost got knocked off mom’s back as she crawled into the tight box (“Low bridge, Mom!!”)

35 Amy 06.07.09 at 6:13 pm

:) ! Awwwww. I didn’t know they clung to mom’s back like that.

Adorables. But my face went D:! when he nearly fell off that chair.

36 Jenni 06.07.09 at 6:48 pm

37 Ruth 06.07.09 at 7:15 pm

OMG, just OMG !

38 dawgpup 06.07.09 at 7:44 pm

39 LisaL 06.07.09 at 8:02 pm

*gasp* Where can I sign up to have anteaters climb on to meeeeeee?
OMG I gasped when bebeh anty almost fell! Poor lil bebeh!

40 puddlepeppers 06.07.09 at 9:04 pm

LisaL…Can we form an anteaters fan club? We might could get privileges at
a local zoo. a-e climbers welcome. We can invite chanpon for missing-out at
the aquarium…

41 online virtual world for kids 06.07.09 at 9:29 pm

@Katie totally agree with you. She look like she’s crying out for mama~

*Waoah! woah! Mama! i want my mama! Where are you?!*

Totally adorable! XD

42 Rach 06.07.09 at 11:50 pm

Aaaaaawww!! PRECIOUS! Didn’t want to be alone on that chair either! I wanted to catch the poor bebe when s/he fell off! I want one now!

43 Felicityanne 06.07.09 at 11:54 pm

An anteater in an aquarium? What next, a Koi carp in a petting zoo?!

44 Barbarella 06.08.09 at 1:36 am

OMG. The squealing is just soooo sweet. Give it its mum, for pete´s sake! :D

45 Gail 06.08.09 at 5:32 am

Anyone know what zoo or aquarium this is? I live in Tokyo and I need more of this in my life. The ‘whoa’ sound he made when he nearly fell off the chair KILLED me.

46 Gail 06.08.09 at 5:35 am

Duh, it says Sunshine international aquarium right at the beginning. I should watch twice before I ask questions. OOps.

47 Amanda b. 06.08.09 at 6:39 am

What a sweetheart! That little guy is so unsure on his feet. But I am sure about one thing: he’s cute!

48 Katrina 06.08.09 at 7:04 am

mmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeelt.

49 Kissyfur 06.08.09 at 7:57 am

Baby anty should not be out explorin by itself. It should stay home wit da momma where its safe. Somebody giv hem a mini snikers to munch on.

50 pyrit 06.08.09 at 8:20 am

They are like storybook crescent moon faces.

51 rubber duck 06.08.09 at 10:48 am

Aww. This was me watching the part where they put the baby on the table(?) and it gets all anxious:

Baby: Squeak!
Me Squeak!
Baby Squeak!
Me: Squeak!
Baby: SQUEAK!
Me: SQUEAK!!!

…and that was a completely involuntary reaction!

52 Blueindy 06.08.09 at 11:46 am

So strange, but so cute!

53 Ingrid 06.08.09 at 1:48 pm

Oh my gosh. I nearly started crying from the cuteness!!!

54 Emily 06.08.09 at 3:29 pm

Those overalls it’s wearing are redonkulous! Where do you even find overalls for anteaters?

55 bunnywabbit 06.09.09 at 4:31 am

I’ve always wanted an anteater since I was a little kid. So I got a whippet instead.
