Pua on the wall

[TamanduaGirl]

My camera's broken and gone and still waiting on my new one but had to take these pics. We're in the middle of a slow renovation of my room and this is where the new and old wall meet. And I got video too.

Wow I don't think I"ve ever seen an animal like Pua before. What is Pua called? He looks like he's from another country or something! But Pua is sure cute! You should post more pictures of him soon! He lookes adorable!

Pua's a tamandua, a medium sized anteater. The Giants are what most people think of as anteaters. Of course then there's some people like my mom. When I first told her I was getting a anteater she asked, "What about the armor?" :-D They naturaly range all over south america. I beleive at one time Tamandua mexicana used to come as far noth as Los Angeles. Of course if you go way back fossilized Tamanduas have been found in the UK, eh, but I'm getting kinda off track.

I did post a little more about her in my intro. I rarely read intros either though so I understand missing it but if you want to see theres some there. And by the way Pua's a she
I'm sure I'll post lots of pics here once I get my new camera.
I'm not possitive which ones I put there but here I'll post a couple from when I still had a decent camera
her tail curles up like that when she get's really excited and she loves going for walks


And this was recent, when I borrowed a camera

I live in Oregon. Laws about what you can have vary by state, county and city laws. So you really need to make sure you check when getting something different, as an example even gerbils are illegal in CA.

They are really hard to get though and require a special diet, well everything does but it's a major thing with anteaters. They are considered delicate and mine's really picky. But she's so amazingly sweet :-)

I'll be getting her a mate in the future in hopes of a baby anteater but I need to move first so there's more room so a year absolute minimum :-(

I didn't know people could keep anteaters/tamanduas as pets... where do you live?

Ya I agree that is a bit odd....

I don't mind being odd but if you are thinking something hinky it's not. I made sure everything was in order and she is fully legal.

I did years of research before getting her and continue too and have worked with other exotics before.

Pua is beautiful.Thanks for sharing pics

[Argranade]

Omg I just want to give her a big warm hug what a sweety, I seen those animals on my nature chanel lol, there realy amazing and beautiful creatures .. as are all animals of the world.

That's a realy neat friend you got there because it's not too often I see a person walking one down the street around here , please when you get a new camera you have to take more photos of this adorable pet!

Just woundering what is there life span & how much was such a creature or did you adopt her?

Cute pics!

Pua is awesome! Very cute. I love the pics.

As long as the animals are well cared for and are happy I have no problem with someone owning them

[TamanduaGirl]

Thanks.

Pua just sticks her tongue in my ears.

By CA do you mean Canada? Cause Gerbils aren't illegal here lol.

That is really cool that she is your pet. Someone else on PT has a monkey. After doing more research I would like to own a Kinka jou they are so interested and I have seen people own them before.

CA is the standard postal two letter abreviation for California
