Tamandu\u00e1 \u00e9 a denomina\u00e7\u00e3o gen\u00e9rica que abrange as v\u00e1rias esp\u00e9cies da fam\u00edlia Mirmecofag\u00eddeos (comedores de formigas). S\u00e3o desdentados e vivem quase unicamente de formigas e cupins, e por isso s\u00e3o util\u00edssimos. Infelizmente, por\u00e9m, o povo n\u00e3o lhes agradece o servi\u00e7o que prestam. Por se tratar de animais vagarosos e quase indefesos, t\u00eam sido muito perseguidos e em boa parte exterminados.<\/p>\n

\"\"O tamandu\u00e1-a\u00e7u, ou tamandu\u00e1-bandeira, \u00e9 a maior e a mais caracter\u00edstica das nossas tr\u00eas esp\u00e9cies. A cabe\u00e7a mede 26 cm; o pesco\u00e7o e o corpo, 94 cm; e a cauda, quase outro tanto. A cauda \u00e9 uma enorme bandeira de longos pelos, e lhe serve de coberta quando, de noite, se aninha encolhido para dormir; o corpo desaparece todo debaixo desse como que mont\u00e3o de palha escura. Os p\u00e9s s\u00e3o providos de longas garras (quatro nas m\u00e3os, cinco nos p\u00e9s) e, para o of\u00edcio a que se destinam \u2014 isto \u00e9, abrir formigueiros e os dur\u00edssimos cupins \u2014, esses utens\u00edlios prestam-se admiravelmente. A colheita das formigas ele a faz com a l\u00edngua, estirada uns 30 ou 40 cent\u00edmetros (portanto, quase dois palmos!). Estando ela bem carregada, recolhe-a rapidamente, saboreia quem a mordia e a enfia de novo para dentro do ninho em busca de mais alimento.<\/p>\n

Diz\u00edamos serem os tamandu\u00e1s indefesos, mas a hist\u00f3ria bem conhecida do “abra\u00e7o” com que este animal sa\u00fada o inimigo tem seu fundo de verdade. Ereto sobre as patas traseiras, o tamandu\u00e1 espera o advers\u00e1rio. \u00c9 f\u00e1cil imaginar que a mesma for\u00e7a que lhe permite destruir cupinzeiros tamb\u00e9m pode, pelo menos, machucar bastante o oponente imprudente que se deixar apanhar. Mas sua \u00edndole \u00e9 antes t\u00edmida; foge do homem, mas t\u00e3o lentamente que, a passo, se acompanha seu galope! Infelizmente, os ca\u00e7adores, diante deste animal \u00fatil e indefeso, n\u00e3o sabem conter sua f\u00faria destruidora. N\u00e3o tardar\u00e1 o dia em que apenas nos jardins zool\u00f3gicos se poder\u00e1 admirar esse tipo curioso.<\/p>\n

Deus proveu alimento para todas as criaturas, dando a estas a habilidade necess\u00e1ria para conseguir seu sustento. Sem d\u00favida, em Seu plano original, o tamandu\u00e1 n\u00e3o cogitava em dar a ningu\u00e9m o abra\u00e7o fatal, nem haveria ca\u00e7ador algum a persegui-lo. Como n\u00e3o havemos de ficar contentes quando nem homem nem animal “far\u00e3o mal nem dano algum em todo o Meu santo monte, diz o Senhor”! (Isa\u00edas 65:25).<\/p>\n
