Unexpectedly, the fellow order animals black bears and Malayan bears didn't get along, while the unrelated Malayan bears and anteaters seemed to co-exist just fine.
The enclosure for the anteaters was also quite large, with a man-sized mound of earth in the middle.
The mound served as the 'feeding device' for the anteaters, mainly constructed of wood with a clay exterior shaped like a pile of earth and various-sized holes on the surface, with many intersecting small tunnels inside, into which ants would be regularly introduced at the bottom.
Anteaters could lie on top of the mound feeder at any time, extending their tongues into the holes to eat. Ants would naturally climb onto the damp tongue and then be rolled out and crunched up for consumption.
