Anteater Care

At the beginning of their research trip the Palmers find a baby anteater, who longs for its mother. Lu takes it upon herself to find the anteater mother, a seemingly impossible task. At the end of their stay in the Amazon, after an almost hopeless search, Lu discovers the mother anteater on an ant hill and, returns the baby to its mother, who happily accepts it. Even though Lu would have liked to keep the baby anteater as a lifelong friend, she feels that the baby anteater belongs in nature and with its mother. The newly designed anteater figure's long tongue is movable and can be pulled out so that it can "eat" the sticker ants.
