Yup. They rip into termite mounds that are hard as rock, so their curved claws are very strong and sharp (and long) and their forelegs are musclebound like a wrestler's.
they ain't your ordinary ant eater, they have very strong forelimbs with huge claws which they carve up termite mounds with, they are consided a very dangerous animal if cornered.
Its sad to hear that she died. I wander what will be done with the Animal. Something that is aggressive like that maybe should be put into a different area or something like that.
Not a different area, just more caution taken next time. Im sure an investigation will be done to see why the animal was provoked. They only attack when they feel threatened or similar. More caution will just be taken. Its a wild animal!
They must have missed that show... but seriously they should be aware of the risks of keeping the animal, if they wernt its completely their fault, i would nominate them for a darwin award.
As the report said, it may have been protecting it's young, it may have been in heat. If this was Australia, the USA/Canada or Europe then husbandry practices would be altered immediately to prevent a reoccurrence, euthanasing the animal would not be considered. But being Argentina, there's no telling what they'll do.
Incidentally, close to half of that three metres is tail.
