I recently rewatched the MST3k episode Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, where Mike and 'bots riff on a made-for-public television movie from the 1980s starring Raul Julia (seriously, this movie looks like a 1980s Doctor Who episode, probably why they chose to riff it) . In the movie, Raul Julia's character is always going on about how filthy an animal the anteater is. Are they really that dirty of an animal, or was it just an out-of-nowhere slam, as Crow T. Robot put it?
thank god you brought this question to such a vast depository of anteater related knowledge. one of our experts will be with you shortly.
I'm sure someone here has one as a pet and will be able to tell us. Meant to be sarcastic, but really, wouldn't be a bit surprised to find someone here does.
Thanks for the introduction! A little known fact amongst the general public is that anteaters eat aunts.
