Amazing new video from International Animal Rescue and partner organization Refuge For Wildlife! This sweet video shows an infant Northern tamandua (also known as an anteater) being reunited with his mom in the wild.
Refuge For Wildlife saved this tiny anteater after he was found all alone on the ground, his mother nowhere to be seen. Normally mama anteaters will leave their babies tucked away high in the treetops of the forest while they forage for food. Unfortunately it seems that this baby must have slipped from the trees and fallen onto the ground below.

Luckily this baby anteater was found by a local resident before any predators could get to him. The concerned resident took the baby to the wildlife refuge, where he was provided with a medical checkup and round-the-clock care. The tiny baby was named Edwin, and his caretakers fed him some milk and provided a warm water bottle to keep him cozy. This little one is only one month old, and his caretakers knew that the best chance of survival was to reunite baby with mom.

Thankfully Edwin’s mama showed up the very next day looking for him in the same spot where he was found in the forest. The folks at the wildlife refuge quickly rushed the baby to the area where his mother was spotted in the trees. It took a little bit of acrobatics as the baby cannot yet climb, but Edwin was finally able to successfully reunite with his mom! As you can see in the video it is such a sweet moment when mama and baby are finally back together in the wild!
Amazing to watch!
Thank you !
Wow, that made my day!
What a lovely reunion ♥
ANIMALS ARE AWESOME. THEY HAVE BIGGER HEARTS THAN MOST PEOPLE. GOD BLESS ALL OF GODS BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS.
Beautiful rescue!
Such a sweet story! Adorable!
Heartwarming story of anteater and kudos to those people who helped this adorable baby.
wow this made me cry. the music really gets me
What a wonderful thing to watch. Thank You so much to those who helped this little guy
and his Mom. Truly heart-warming !!
So beautiful to see animals with their young. In the wild one can see the love of the mother for her chilld. So unlike most of the human species that chose to abort out of selfishness. the human breed should be labeled animals instead.
Lucy Leon I agree with you 100% thank you for bringing up humans killing their babies!
Thank You !

BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK O MAMA AND BABY FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE!!
That was so cute!
Lovely kind people who took the baby anteater to the shelter and the wonderful people who then looked after him and then all taking time to reunite him with his mother
Your all true Angels , big Thankyou
Just so heartwarming.
This video is so precious! Thank you!
that was awesome to watch them get reacquainted
What a beautiful mother snd child reunion. It is so rewarding to see.
Oh wow, I never knew that anteater babies were so tiny. I’m glad both baby and mom are back in the wild forest, not stuck in a cage in a zoo somewhere. A lot of people would have tried to keep the baby as a pet, which always ends tragically for the animals.
Thank you everyone for being humanitarians loving volunteering.
Namaste🎈
