Anteater LE-5 Large Mule by Enrique Duarte ES26

Enrique always creates with conscience, and this product line is his idea to shine a light on some of the world’s most fragile species that are in danger of extinction. In groups of ten models each month, Enrique will illustrate creatures from regions around the world. 

For November, we are honoring the Giant Anteater, a large insectivorous mammal native to Central and South America. It is a large mammal with a long tubular muzzle and a large bushy tail. It's neutral tone colored coat allows it to disappear into its enviroment on its very important treks to locate tasty morsels of food. The Giant Anteater has a long history with humans and has often appeared in Pre-Columbia Era cultural stories. The Giant Anteater is considered to be vulnerable due to habitation destruction, fire, and poaching.  

The first model honoring this beautiful animal is Anteater, a decorator mural on the Large Mule sculpture. Enrique painted her in shaded grulla with primitive markings, mixed in with greens and browns underneath the anteater. She is priced at $449.99 and is available in all finish options.
