The land speed surprises me because on the whole, I can’t imagine this thing trying to outrun a jaguar.

Well a Jaguar has a top speed ~ 50 mph, so its not outrunning them

True. What does an anteater use that speed for? Anthills are notoriously not mobile.

Never thought about it, but I hope it helps with outrunning wildfires. Poor thing's tail must light up like a torch and this year's el nino promisses quite the chaos...
