Giant anteaters are considered a 'vulnerable' species on the ICUN Red List (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) as their population is decreasing.

In the wild giant anteaters live in grasslands and are nocturnal animals.

They can normally be found in both Central and South America in countries such as Honduras and Argentina.

Zena will turn two-years-old in May and currently weighs around 36 kilos.
