____________Shea___________
__________Name: Shea shea as a boy's name (also used as girl's name Shea) is pronounced shay. It is of Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Shea is "admirable". Can also mean : graceful, free, courageous.
__________Personality:
Easygoing and not one to fuss over things, this Hyte usually merely opts to observe rather than join in activity. That being said he is a very curious male, wanting to know more and more about the world around him. He is not one to shy from others though, not finding it hard to approach and talk to strangers. Perhaps others may find him nosey but he is just honestly inquisitive.
While he is usually found careleslly resting in random places, one thing that excites him is food. He becomes more energetic and focused when presented with food or the opportunity to attain it. Basically he is a glutton. Keep him away from the kitchens.
He also has a habit of putting his long flexible tongue everywhere.
[will add more when brain isn't fried]
__________Likes: Any kind of food, stories, napping, listening in to conversations
__________Dislikes:
__________Notable Trivia:
__________• Hates it when others say his name is feminine.
__________• Give him snacks and he will be your best friend. Might be hard to get rid of him then.
__________• Particularly fond of sweets.
__________• Speaks rather slowly because of his long tongue. It IS retractable though. |

Quote: It is a solitary animal, found in many habitats, including grasslands, deciduous forests and rainforests. It feeds mainly on ants and termites, sometimes up to 30,000 insects in a single day.
The genus name Myrmecophaga is from Greek murmekos, ant, and phagein, to eat.

The giant anteater is one of few taxa of mammals without any teeth even in a mature state. An anteater instead crushes insects it consumes using hard growths found on the inside of its mouth, and its flabby stomach. Sand and small rocks have also been found in anteaters' stomachs, suggesting that these are ingested to aid digestion (possible gastroliths). They have an average body temperature of 32.7oC, which is one of the lowest of all land-living mammals. This low rate of metabolism, common in xenarthrans, means it is inactive for a mammal.[4] Unlike most mammals, the giant anteater's gastric acid does not contain hydrochloric acid; rather, it uses formic acid produced by its prey. |
