But dont worry about their going hungry. Theyll eat an exotic combination of food thatll keep them happy and healthy for years, according to LaMar Farnsworth, director. Their diet will consist ol ground beef, reconstituted evaporated milk, bone meal, brew- ers yeast, minerals, vitamins, mixed baby cereal, egg yolk, cod liver oil and formic acid mixed in a blender until its quite runny. In their native habitat of Central and South America, the unusual-lookin- g creatures tear anthills apart with three long claws on their front paws and devour thousands of ants with a long sticky tongue.
