I absolutely love how its intimidation stance is just a T-pose. Some would say the devs forgot to animate the pose, but I think they just know it’s truly intimidating.

A little curiosity: Here in Brazil the name of "Giant Anteater" is "Tamanduá-Bandeira", it can be translated to "Flag-Tamandua", that's because of the flag like appearence of his tail.
Sempre tem um Brasileiro, Não importa em que vídeo seja
curious indeed!
Has he done one on the Pangolin? I'd definitely like to see their rankings since they are essentially armored anteaters. They can even crush ants and termites that crawl on their body under their scales. Not sure how they deal with Acid attacks, but its something to consider.
They are heavier than water, therefore to swim they swallow air and fart it out to control buoyancy.
pangolins are really cute and underrated and I want to see a video on them
@@rinserofwinds wtf? This is cracking me up xD
Anteater feels like a character that was initially added as a joke, but developed into genuine badass with time.
Their intimidation play is just to T-pose. 100% added as a joke. Just makes it all the funnier that it actually works!
When someone's meme build suddenly turns into a standard meta build
Anteater looks like some programmer got yelled at by management on how to deal with ants being broken, and being a smartass, they designed an anti-ant build that just looks goofy as hell to make it obvious to anyone looking that they really just phoned it in.
"Yeah fuck it, its got an anthill poker claw and an ant-glue tongue and its tongue can go halfway through an anthill. Surviving uh... just make its arms strong as hell so it can beat shit with the poker claw and turn its tail into a bush looking thing for camouflage, and give it low metabolism so it can survive on ants and just make it slow and strong so it can only reasonably hunt ants stuck in a hill. For everything else, just make it look like the dumbest, silliest thing you've ever seen. Who gives a shit anyway? These ants are just bullshit, one creature isn't going to hold them all back, is management stupid? This thing will probably end up surviving just because ants can survive anything so it'll just have infinity ants to eat."
Yeah, feels like that anti-meta choice just to troll the hardcore players
@@corvuscorax7451 the T-pose strat is surprisingly meta, it widens and lengthens your hitbox to its largest form, so you look like you have a higher weight class than you actually do. A lot of mammals do it, and even humans are encouraged to do it when approached by large animals outside of their territory like certain bear species and lions
Brazilian medic here. I saw a patient die due to an anteater attack once. It was Christmas eve on a rural area of São Paulo and this middle age farmer was already drunk. Suddenly, he heard his dogs barking: it was a giant anteater. When he was trying to scare it away, the animal slashed his belly: evisceration, we could see part of his intestine outside his abdomen. He died around two weeks later due to nosocomial infecction.
For people who don't know what nosocomial means, it means he ultimately died of hospital.
@@machinotaurhe died of an infection caught in the hospital, but it must be noted that if your belly was literally sliced open it's probably going to be fairly hard to protect you from infections. It wouldn't be as clean a cut as you'd get in surgery either, so even stitching and bandaging might still leave the possibility of infection until the wound is fully healed.
holy shit i dont know how folks like you stomach this kind of stuff. massive respect
Sooo it was your fold....
@@BlackReshiram "stomach" nice
Just an observation:
In Brazil all anteaters are called "Tamandua"; but, for example, we call the giant ant eater "tamandua bandeira", which stands for "flag anteater" cuz of its tail that looks like a waving flag
Belligol is definitely strong, way OP 😂😂
Tierzoo is the definition of quality over quantity
Yeah, that and Oversimplified (he will post I swear)
Mustard
And the anteater's means of gaining XP is the definition of quantity over quality.
@@noahbeansie650 i gave up hope a couple months ago. like if it really takes him this long to upload 2 30 minute episodes that's wild.
I never heard about this channel until a few months ago, but it's legitimately one of the best on YT.
There is nothing I fear more than a stanced up anteater.
Bro just wants a hug💀
I fear no man.
But that thing...
It big.
You should fear honey badgers more
How about fear itself?

The darker patch of fur around the arms and shoulders of the giant anteater also helps when carrying juveniles. When they climb their mother's back, their fur overlaps making them look like a single, even bigger animal. I think that gives a few more points to their stealth
Is that a juvenile on its back here 7:16?
Yes
Definitely helps success rate on one of the hardest mainline quests in the game
It not only prottects the juvenile, but gives the anteater extra intimidation while it's at the most vulnerable point.
This build reminds me of the 'monster' costume from the movie, The Village.
As I saw the thumbnail I just entered here to write "BELLIGOL BELLIGOL"
Same 😂😂😂😂
I always look forward to seeing your uploads, Tierzoo!

All of them are called Tamanduá here in Brazil;
Tamanduá Mirim = Anteater
Tamanduá Bandeira = Giant Anteater
Tamanduaí = Pygmy Anteater
(edit: fixed names)
Their main means of defense is a hug...
When afraid they open their arms and stand looking at the direction of the threat.
If they manage to grab a hold of something they plunge their claws into it and don't let it go until some piece rags out...
I heard a dog near a farm I went got killed by one... not very common but can happen if the dog is too stupid.
Eu vi na internet que os nomes são na verdade tamanduá mirim, tamanduá bandeira e tamanduaí, o tamanduaí que seria o pygmy anteater
O tamanduá-mirim seria o do meio não?
@@Tiosedannao!!! o mirim é o pigmy mesmo
Kangaroos also go for a hug, except they use them to drown dingoes in watering holes or rivers.
Tamanduá Bandeira = Myrmecophaga tridactyla
Tamanduá Mirim = Tamandua tetradactyla
Tamanduaí = Cyclopes didactylus
Don't forget that the Tamandua has learned the "T-Pose" emote and combined it with the Attack "Hug of Death", where it grabs the enemy player and sinks their claws into it. That can deal MASSIVE damage to small players. It could oneshot the house-cat build.
Having the most iconic (and arguably best) Intimidation Emote in the game combined with a pretty good grapple-attack as a seemless combo is impressive
"T-Pose to assert dominance!"
Can it dab tho
@@RedRocketthefirst Unfortunately, at least on the earth server group-group, only humans and a few apes and ape-likes have limbs flexible and shapely enough to 'dab'
@@FelidaeEnjoyer fake news ive seen crabs dab

I'm always excited for that outro music , I love it!😊
I love how the ant player deaths are shown with Pikmin souls. Also, The Anteater build is one of my favorites in the meta. It really shows how specialization to grind one specific resource can really pay off. They have all the skills needed to wipe out entire ant colonies, and as a result, they have some of the deadliest melee weapons in Outside.
Thanks for watching! Anteaters are one of my favorites too
Yeah, they're great.
That new dying animation dlc was cute.
The last thing you want is for one to stand up on it's hind legs.
Damn bro, you only gonna reply to dollars?
The devs really went wild with the design of the anteater. Such a fascinating build.
The dev's are definitely smoking some crazy stuff, their game lets an ape that spec'd out of having fur take top spot.
Pretty sure this game only has one dev. He must be pretty busy.
@@tek87It does. God is the Developer
Indeed. The Lord is very creative with his creations
Truly a majestic thing to see galloping across the plains of los Pampas…
you can really see how he gets better at editing with every upload, keep it up tierzoo! :]
Belligol belligol 📸 📸
I think their ability to cause the "intimidated" debuff is underrated. T posing at their enemies to ward them off is, apparently, a pretty good way to avoid needless combat
Definitely helps when you have super tough razor-sharp claws to swing around. Basically nature's Wolverine (the superhero, not the animal lol)
@@Thund3rDrag0n12I thought nature's wolverines were wolverines. XD just playing ofc
They are so good the devs just forgot to make an animation for their intimidation. Probably too effective when animated so it has to look goofy
it’s a glitch fs
texture update needed lulz
Mantis do that too
I can't believe you didn't mention the Anteater's unique fighting stance: The "Come at me bro!"
*the menacing T-pose*
Seems the 'T' stands for tamanduá
Defensive T-pose!
its the Bellingham now
@@nayhem yep, and the giant anteater is called tamanduá bandeira. Bandeira means flag, and it's called that because it's tail resembles one
BELLINGHAM BELLINGHAM BELLIGOL📸📸📸📸📸📸
Lmfaoo i love your RuneScape themed thumbnails 😂
In Brazil all anteaters are called tamanduá. The giant one is called tamanduá-bandeira. Bandeira means flag, so the name is due to its huge tail which resembles a waving flag.
Salve salve
BRASIL MENTIONED
TierZoo should come to Brasil
@@douglaspaulson9190Nah, Brazil sucks as a place to visit.
in Spanish its name is "oso hormiguero"
Oso = bear 🐻
Hormiguero = anthill 🐜
Wow, the Anteater class truly shows us the power of specialization in the tier list. Their unique skill set for raiding anthills is mind-blowing, and it's amazing to see them dominate the insect guilds. These mini-tank builds are the underrated MVPs of the animal world!
Couldn't agree more! It's like they've specced all their skill points into 'Ant Raid' and 'Tongue Attack.' I mean, who needs armor and claws when you've got an extendable anteater straw for a tongue? Anteaters are the speedrunners of the animal world!
Anteaters: Nature's vacuum cleaners!
@@DiscoverReality23 essential skills
It is easy to think they would be pushover because they only eat ants, but you do not want to f**k with something that casually rips apart concrete, especially with those stupidly sharp claws.
Don't forget that Anthills are as hard as the craftible Item named "concrete".
And the Ant-Eater can break through the Materials hardness with ease. Thats some impressive destructive Capability for an Insect eater!
Nah the Bellingham effect is crazy
Belligham whenever he score .....
I feel that their unique head shape is also worth mentioning, as it gives them a resistance against critical hits from cats since their necks are harder to discern from their heads.
Man i just love the way the giant anteater looks, the huge forearms, slim head, small hind legs and tail shape just fits so well together somehow
The clip of one settling down completely shielding itself with its bushy tail was so cool
@@derek9511 id never seen that before.
This is so satisfying to watch! Thanks!
This is a great channel very informative while being super entertaining
As a brazilian it’s delightful to have animals from our fauna represented on this amazing channel
5:35 This might literally be the best camouflage I have ever seen from a mammal…
i know, right???!!!
Haven’t been on yt much the last few months but it’s always good day when I find a tierzoo video I haven’t seen
Hi TierZoo! Haven't checked in on your newer videos til now, and I just wanna compliment you on the new graphics! The new effects and visual aids add a bit more of a punch. Good stuff!
Anteaters are honestly so underrated, very few people know how dangerous those claws are and that has actually been the death of quite a few poachers
Ah, sweet sweet karma by mother nature herself
Poachers should know to keep away from the t pose of death.
I guess they're gunless poachers
@@sepg5084 they probably underestimate it and get an artery slashed by those claws. Good luck getting that stitched up in the middle of nowhere, those poachers would bleed out long before they can get to a hospital

I wanted to be a zoologist when I was younger. Channels like Tierzoo make me think I should've chased my childhood dream instead of working a corporate job.
You can always make it a hobby if you have time
@@Abyz_facts nun wrong with a hobby
Stop wasting time with these bullsh_t hopes and dreams. Maintain your focus on creating and achieving increased values for shareholders. Your company encourages and rewards employees who do so.
@@jfgibson73 I say he would be wasting his time listening to you
@@Abyz_ facts
A point I think is fair to point out, Tamandua is an indigenous word, and we use it for Anteaters in general here in Brazil. The giant anteater is called Tamanduá-bandeira or something like "Flag Tamanduá", the smaller one you showed is called Tamanduá-Mirim or Tamanduá-de-Colete which would sound like "Vested-Tamanduá" because of the black vest like pattern on its fur.
Anyway we call all Anteaters by the Tamanduá name here in Brazil.
Came here to comment this!
In Brazil we call them beligol*
Came here to say the same. It's a small mistake, but the tamanduá-mirim probably should be called something else in english to avoid confusion.
Okay but in english the smaller one is called either a northern or southern Tamandua depending on the species. We don't have another name for it.
@@randomassortmentofthings yes we could see it by the video, but now I gave it a name for ya, 😁
Dude i havent your videos in a while but i see youre editing skills have improved btw i love your content.
this channel was remmomnded randomly on my youtube. the zelda effects and graphics made me subscribe
It can't be overstated how amazingly entertaining TierZoo's content is. Man, I wish this man had a whole crew of clones of himself to pump out more of these
I'm not sure I want cloning becoming viable or meta.
@@AndyGneisscosts way too many resources compared to the standard respawn mechanic
@@johnpaulcross424 and don't forget the standard respawn mechanism is much more fun 😅
You meant *Overstated*, unless you meant to dunk on him.
@@BLitzRunner77 Oo yeah, ty for correcting me. Meant to say overstated haha
i think pangolins should’ve gotten an honorable mention despite not being closely related to actual ant eaters
Pango-mids
Bro casually turning life into a game
Pangolins should get a show of their own. But aardvarks should be considered if we're looking at functional anteaters. And maybe the aye-aye too?
bro this channel is goated 💀
I really enjoy the way you explain things Lmaoo 😂😂 Amazing video!!
For the entirety of this video I was rememoring The Onion's video "Expert wasted his entire life studying anteaters" but I'm glad you made these creatures sound way more interesting than The Onion did
Me too! The Onion is timeless gold,

5:04 belligol, belligol, bellingham!!!!
honestly love this channel
the knuckle walk technology is insanly underrated. Now that I think about it, it could become meta defining if players of other builds would interest this feature in their builds.
Still bad for mobility though, and all you get is a damage bonus. For builds that don't need to destroy structures that damage bonus is usually overkill. Besides, most feline builds just use the "retractable claws" perk to get the damage bonus without the mobility debuff (classic cats being OP)
@@blahthebiste7924 Then there's the _other_ build. The one we don't talk about
Name checks out@@FelidaeEnjoyer
You know the anteater build is OP when some bear faction members, known for such terrifying builds as the grizzly and the polar bear, go so far out of their traditional wheelhouse to spec into the anteater's niche, creating the sun bear build!
You mean the Sloth Bear build?
@@solarium-z8230 Both the Sun Bear and the Sloth Bear have become specialised insect-eaters.
(In fact, they’re both mentioned as such in this video of his: czcams.com/video/wYk2i070I2I/video.htmlsi=hlNWD3jqmMuTKSBp )
1:07 just got major flash backs hearing the background music😂
Ever so often the algorithm brings this channel back on my feed and I love it🤣
I love how when they get attacked, they stand up and hold their arms out like "come at me bro" 😂
T attack stance:
- Reduces cooldown and backswing on Claw attacks
- Improved target tracking and turn speed
+4 to Intimidate
-4 to Mobility
-1 to Defense
Many ants were hurt in the making of this video
It would interesting to see a rooster analysis, I know they have some pretty interesting traits such as their poisonous claw, and the fact that they live in groups. I’d love to see a vid about them!
And there venomous beaks
It’s a good year when tier zoo posts 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think the anteater build demonstrates the power of understanding the Metagame, consciously deciding on a strategy on how to interact with the game, and then specializing to achieve the maximum within that playstyle.
All great things to remember for us human mains in our playthroughs.
I like how whenever it takes damage it enters a T-pose animation to assert dominance
Him and bellingham, their pose is the meta
The “Eyewitness Theme” hits me right in the childhood every time I hear it 💫
The gaming references are on point as always using the Pikmin death animation is perfect.
I did not know that the ant eater is a very solid build. I’m amazed at how high their hp stats are and how they can defend against jaguars
To me they seem a little Likes a downgraded honey badger, less suicidal behavior but therefore less strength, speed and resistance.
@@No.Good.Nickname I agree
@@No.Good.Nickname They are quite opposed to them actually
Even if it looks similar with their thick fur and powerful attack, there's a fundamental difference
slow ant eater metabolism vs fast honey badger metabolism
The metabolism's speed is one of the most important things.
It basically calibrate the needs, how many food, sleep, water, time to recover...
It can grange from the Hummingbird, with a metabolism 100 times faster than an elephant, that eat 3 time its weight of nectar (basically sugar) per day to keep going, to the koala that eat a bit of poisonous leaves and sleep 18h/d
Metabolism change everything
just like the Hummingbird, the honey badger spend his whole day eating everything it finds. He sleeps with one eye open and run all the time. He's like a gluttonous C addict.
While the ant eater has it chill. Its sleep is so deep that it's a mini hibernation, and he need quite some time after waking up to get moving. It eat less than 2/3 of what a dog eat, very low energy requirement for a mammal.
throughout this vid i was thinking BELLINGOL BELLINGO BELLINGO
Ant eater doing a Jude Bellingham pose ⚽🏟️
The ant-eater really seems like a niche counterpick but he actually has the stats to be good on its own and not only when the thing he counters is dominating
Turns out to counter one of the most powerful meta picks is necessary top notch adaptations to begin with
If I recall, Giant Anteater players also have the benefit from that tail in that it can mildly confuse predators in looking like the head of the anteater, making any predator players more hesitant to swing.
That hairy tail is also itchy.
I think I'm going to try an anteater build next season! It looks so fun!
It feels like TierZoo has a new style and I am loving it
I always found the anteater to be an obscure, yet majestic build, which has always caused it to fly under many people's radar.
It's the right combination of weird, cute, powerfull and interesting!
In Brasil Giant Ant eaters are called Tamanduá bandeira (portuguese word for flag, because it´s tail), and the Tamanduá is called Tamanduá mirim (child in Tupi-Guarany language), tamanduá means anthill in Tupi- Guarany by the way. Both are quit common on my region, and seen often, since they come for anthills and termite mounds on pasture.
Bro tier zoo you 100% should make a game like this
As a longtime user of the Giant Anteater Build (Been on it since season 6, back before they buffed it) i'm glad it was finally covered.
I'd rather have 12 great videos a year than 60 useless videos a month.
Keep up the great educational videos TZ much love.
One thing you forgot to mention about their stealth rating is that their arms look like they could be it's head, it even moves in such a way while eating that would make you assume as such, I'm certain many players quit after having bit into it's razor sharp claws
I love the unique concept of this channel for narrating animal features. Such a good idea and so entertaining.
