大食蟻獸(學名:Myrmecophaga tridactyla)是異關節總目披毛目食蟻獸的一種,為一種大型的食蟲動物,和樹懶為近親。分布在中美洲與南美洲部份地區,生活在草地、落葉林和雨林地區。主要以螞蟻和白蟻為食,一天最多可食30,000隻昆蟲。 大食蟻獸在現存四種食蟻獸中體型最大的成員,體長可達 182-217 cm(5.97-7.12英尺)。雄性體重通常為 33-41公斤(73-90磅),雌性則為 27-39公斤(60-86磅)。體毛長而堅硬,可長40釐米,尾部密生长毛,头细长,眼耳极小并吻成管状,无齿,舌细长并能伸缩,借以舐食蚁类、白蚁及其他昆虫。前肢除第五指外,均具钩爪,后肢短,五爪大小相仿。体灰白色,背面两侧有宽阔的黑色纵纹,纹的边缘白色。大食蟻獸為獨居動物,個體之間少有互動,少數例外為:雄性之間的示威、交配、以及養育後代。雌性大食蟻獸會將幼仔背在背上活動。 大食蟻獸被國際自然保護聯盟列為易危物種,在許多地區面臨局部地區滅絕。大食蟻獸所面臨的威脅包括棲息地喪失以及盜獵取得其毛皮與肉。 包括兩個亞種: * Myrmecophaga tridactyla artata Osgood, 1912 * Myrmecophaga tridactyla centralis Lyon, 1906
