Izinga lokushisa komzimba wakhe lehle lafika kuma-25 degrees Celsius, lapho kujwayelekile ukuthi babe ngaphansi nje kuka-37ºC.
I-Los abacwaningi Bakwazile ukuthola ukuthi ezinye izilwane ezihuquzelayo, izinyoni, nezinye izilwane seziqalile ukusebenzisa imingxuma ye-anteater, ukuze izidleke ezinoboya ziphele ngokudabukisayo izindawo zokukhosela ezitholakalayo.
