Of all the animals from my childhood, the one that most intrigued me was the Flag Ant-Eater.
Just imagine ! An Ant-Eater that was a flag!!!
Well; the Ant-Eater is a flag.
Here on the Sierra de São José of Tiradentes, Minas Gerais, Brazil, it would  be a good thing if the Ant-Eater could be re-introduced. They say there were lots of  them around here and that hunters would throw a bundle of twigs at them wich they would instinctively grab at. The hunters would them club them to death.
Thus, man would eat the ant-eater that ate the ant, the King of Brazil.
