Silky Anteater, I am not certain of the species and I realize that little is visible to aid in ID. This animal was curled up asleep in a mangrove swamp and visible from our boat. The animal was about the size of a football I guess. Our naturalist/guide just ID'd it as "Silky Anteater" and told us they were strictly nocturnal.
