What’s all this then?  A protective alliance of anteaters and pandas?   Or are they just good mates out for a stroll?

Neither.  Take a closer look and you’ll see it’s all one animal.   What’s more, pandas come from China and anteaters are from Central and South Amercia, so there’s no way they could have fixed up a stunt like this – through evolutionary synergies or otherwise.  Unless you know different?

Just to complicate matters further, I took the photo in a North American zoo.
