Do anteaters live in dirt

Anteaters do not live in dirt; instead, they inhabit a variety of environments, including grasslands, savannas, and rainforests. They create burrows in the ground for shelter, but they prefer areas with ample insect populations, particularly ants and termites, which are their primary food source. While they may dig and burrow in the dirt to find food, their homes are not simply dirt, but rather part of a more complex habitat.
