Spectacular discovery in the wild: first sighting of a giant anteater in over 100 years. Now experts are hoping for cross-border resettlement.
The animal seems to be in very good condition and to have established itself in the area, says biologist Fábio Mazim. It is almost certain that this animal migrated from the Argentine province of Corrientes and belongs to the population reintroduced to the swamps of Iberá. Experts are now planning to capture the spotted individual to study its characteristics and health.
