A lesser tamandua, also known as the collared anteater, foraging. The collared anteater uses its powerful forearms in self-defense. If it is threatened in a tree it grasps a branch with its hindfeet and tail, leaving its arms and long, curved claws free for combat. If attacked on the ground, this anteater backs up against a rock or a tree and grabs the opponent with its forearms.

The seasonal downpours are about to begin and the rainforest's animals must strive to cope with the changing conditions.
