The fact that the climbing tails of tropical forest-dwelling animals are usually not hairy is part of their adaptation strategy to life in the trees. Only a hairless tail can be used well for climbing, like a grabbing arm. You can find out more here.
Do any of you know which tropical forest dweller the little anteater is referring to here? If I have drawn well enough, I should be able to figure it out. I look forward to your answers!
Yours, Jenny.
