Inktober 52 2025 - Week 5 - 'Zoo'

In 2023, I got a birthday gist to have a VIP experience with an animal at Longleat zoo, and for that I chose to spend some time feeding the giant anteater 'Maroni'.

Wanted an excuse to draw her for ages and today was the day.

It was a great experience, and I learned that Giant anteaters have a groove in their paw for their claws to find into. I thought that was neat.

Have a little compilation of that day! Anteater sniffs, feeding her a bottle and her egg trick (which goes a little wrong lol) plus a few other factoids.
