No, really.

Dwarf fortress has gotten so lifelike I think Toady has broken the plane between the worlds. I didn't even know they were aggressive in real life. Or dangerous. Next thing you know, Carp will be dragging people into the rivers and drowning them.

I'm Brazilian. Giant anteaters are very dangerous. Just look at their claws. They are known to kill hunting dogs for sport, and can easily disembowel a grown man.

And they thought those people in Irvine were just being silly when they called their sports team the Anteaters.

Anteater football is undefeated.

I may not be from Brazil but i'm going to disagree that they kill dogs for sport.

Figure of speech. They kill as many dogs as hunters send to them.

I remember a case a few years ago of an anteater killing a zoo caretaker in Argentina, everyone was WTF just happened?

I feel sorry for the "hunters" killed by the giant anteaters, but from what I understand these animals are little more than hyper-twitchy dogs with nail extensions.  One on one I fancy my chances, and I think any dwarf would do too.

They're not the most dangerous creatures in the jungle, but I wouldn't pick a fight with one bare-handed. Those "nail extensions" are no joke if they're digging into you. And imagine the shame of having "mauled by an anteater" in your obituary.

They have a pact with the jaguars; they distract you while the jaguar jumps on you from behind.  Then the jaguar eats you and not them.

Then I suggest seeking an alliance with ants. Ants should have little love for anteaters.

A pity, because anteaters love ants.

Huh. I never knew that giant anteaters have panda heads on their forelimbs.

If they are not against us, they're for us, right?

Wow. Just wow. I had to. like. go check the picture on the website to make sure you didn't photoshop that.

Jaguars know anteaters can do the "hug of death" on them if they try to do that. Seriously, it's called that.

Easy solution? Quit using dog-packs on large, relatively placid herbivores with GIANT CLAWS.
