   note: it has five toes on the fore feet, an elongated snout,
         small ears, and short woolly hair. its tail is stout
         and hairy at the base, tapering, and covered with
         minute scales, and is somewhat prehensile at the end.

         fourmilier, and cagouare. the collared, or striped,
         tamandu tamandua bivittata is considered a distinct
         species by some writers, but by others is regarded as
         only a variety.
