Even the most defenseless animals have their own defense tactics against predators. One new video discovers a very curious fight between a lesser anteater and a hawk.
Small Anteater Protection Moment – Photo: InternetThe case could have taken place in a forest in Mexico and was captured by wildlife surveillance cameras.
The images show that the hawk is approaching the anteater, and the mammal immediately opens its paws.
The pose is done so that the anteater seems larger than it really is. At least in this case, the action was successful and the animal was not harmed.

Look what a wonderful post!
A lesser anteater is attacked by a hawk and then goes into defensive mode, spreading its arms to look bigger to try and intimidate the hawk.
