How do Anteaters use their trunks?

Anteaters do not have trunks; instead, they have long snouts that are adapted for their specialized diet. Their elongated snouts house a long, sticky tongue, which they use to extract ants and termites from nests. They can extend their tongues up to 16 inches to reach deep into the tunnels of their prey, allowing them to consume large quantities of insects efficiently. Additionally, their strong foreclaws help them break open ant mounds or termite hills.
