Giant Anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) Killed By Hunters With Dogs In the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve, Nicaragua

This report is the first to document giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) in Nicaragua. An indigenous hunter killed four giant anteaters in the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve, Nicaragua. The Mayangna and Miskito residents of the reserve do not eat giant anteaters, but hunters sometimes kill the animals because of the threat they pose to hunting dogs.
