When asked about his fascination with the animal by [Dick] Cavett, the artist describes anteaters as “angelic.” A master of PR, Dalí knew well by this stage in his career the marketability of his eccentricities but even so, his longstanding affinity to anteaters does seem earnest, and certainly well-documented.

Nawww, you do good with what you do. I'm happy anyone who is still posting and replying is still doing so in whatever capacity.
I said about as much on my snake post this morning that it's kinda crazy how many of us know more about tech or space or the Roman Empire or what not than we do the plants and animals in our literal back yards. Our ancient ancestors would look at us like we were the biggest bozos. 😅
