How do anteaters give birth?

Anteaters give birth to a single offspring after a gestation period of about 190 to 200 days. The mother typically finds a safe, secluded spot to deliver her young, which are born with their eyes open and are covered in soft fur. After birth, the mother carries the baby on her back, where it clings to her fur for safety and warmth while she forages for food. The young anteater gradually becomes more independent as it matures.
