HOIST ON YOUR OWN PETARD. Anteaters “are not known for their aversion to ants, but if their prey had a sense of poetic justice, they might appreciate, as they are drawn into the anteater’s stomach, that they will – literally – stew in their own juices. Thanks to the ants’ formic acid, anteaters have no need to produce the hydrochloric acid many other mammals use to promote digestion – their food conveniently helps to digest itself.”
