Being a ‘mom’ to baby anteaters: the most amazing experience of my life

Meet Maria and Joao, the babies I took care of during my time as a volunteer at Criadouro Onça Pintada. One was found next to the dead body of its mom, the other was found in an area devastated by fire and the mom was gone. They were brought to Criadouro Onça Pintada, Brazil. During my time as a volunteer at this rescue centre I took care of these few-month-old giant anteaters, so, for example, I made them special food, fed them three times a day, played with them, cuddled them, weighed them etc. They grew really fast. When they were brought to the centre in the middle of July, each weighed about 3 kg. Two months later, Maria weighed 6.2 kg and Joao 6.7 kg. Maria was about 1.2 m long (head, body, tail).
Taking care of them was the most amazing experience in my life. I appreciated every moment I spent with them. They will stay in my heart forever.
Anteaters ARE NOT pets!

Zastępowanie mamy osieroconym mrówkojadom jest najbardziej niesamowitym doświadczeniem w moim życiu. Kilkumiesięcznymi Marią i Joao opiekowałam się na wolontariacie w Criadouro Onca Pintada w Brazylii.


成为Maria（玛利亚）和Joao（若昂）的“妈妈”是我生命中最美妙的经历。它们是两只巨型食蚁兽幼崽。我在巴西的Criadouro Onça Pintada，做志愿者的第一天就爱上了它们。那些食蚁兽令人难以置信地喜欢拥抱，尤其是玛丽亚。她大部分时间都想拥抱。有时她甚至直接在我的怀里睡着了。若昂也喜欢拥抱，但大部分时间他都在忙着和我玩，或者在我脸上、鞋里或口袋里找蚂蚁。看到它们长得这么快，真让我吃惊。我会永远把他们记在心里。我很感激和这些可爱的宝宝在一起的每一刻。
一只在它母亲的尸体附近被发现，另一只在火堆附近被发现。它的妈妈可能已经死了或者逃走了。它们在7月中旬被带到Criadouro Onca Pintada，重约3公斤。
