to Bates along trail we heard a rustling in leaves. having a flashlight with us we looked to see what it was that rustled the leaves after looking on ground for a while but not seeing any thing. I noticed a small bush weaving back and forth and in this bush we saw a animal which I first thought was a Potos but R.A. said not. said it was an ant eater and sure enough it was. Well we didn't know how we were going to get it as we needed it. It also had four front toes so I said here take my shot pistol and shoot it. Well they shot at it with shot pistol not over eight or ten feet away and never even made it bleed. Well we only had one shell with us so we concluded to catch it and kill it with whatever we could. So I bent over bush and R.A. got it by tail and after pulling it but we watched our chance and got it on its back. then we stood both of us on its breast for about five minutes before we finally killed it. This making us three of these two females and one male. Its stomach had ants and ant eggs in it. It had fed very heavily on them.
