Anteaters and/or Gossips

Anteaters have worm tongue

long and fast

150 movements per minute

Anteaters have lips but no teeth

Sometimes called ant bears

cuz anteaters have long fur for protection

Anteaters dig with powerful arms

into a hill of ants

where the smell brought anteaters

to feed quickly with their tongue

before the ants fight back

Anteaters have a gizzard

where the insects are ground

with sand and dirt

in this

convergent evolution

150 movements per minute

Gossips have lips but no teeth

Sometimes called gossip bears

cuz gossips have long fur for protection

Gossips dig with powerful arms

into a hill of gossip

where the smell brought gossips

to feed quickly with their tongue

before there is fight back

Gossips have a gizzard

where the gossip is ground

with sand and dirt

NaPoWriMo prompt to write about an animal and then change the name of the animal to a different word. I thought gossip would be interesting.
