Therizine Anteater

Therizine Anteater is a future descendants of giant anteaters that survived and spread into North America, where they evolved into giant bipedal herbivores unlike their ancestors. They are gentle giants that only use their clawed fingers for protection against predators or for fighting other males to win a mate. They are either solitary animals or are social animals living up to about 11 in a single group, depending on a species. They are plant eaters that feed mainly on leaves, but can also feed on fruits growing on the trees. They mainly use their long necks to reach into the trees and use their clawed fingers to pull down the branches they are feeding on.

Evolution
After the Late Holocene ended, humans are now gone, thus saving the remaining giant anteaters from extinction. The giant anteaters that have spread into North America had evolved to be larger and more herbivorous, abandoning their insect diet and developing larger and stronger teeth for eating leaves and fruit. They also grew much longer necks to reach into the trees better and evolved larger and stronger arms and claws for pulling down branches. Their back legs grew longer and much stronger to help support the weight for the larger body and bipedal locomotion. These giant anteaters have evolved into Therizine anteaters.
