At Roger Williams Park Zoo, it’s not just the zip rides and Komodo dragons turning heads—one playful giant anteater is making a splash in his own unforgettable way. In a hilarious moment caught by zookeepers, the anteater was spotted enjoying a bath like it was his personal spa day, flopping into the water, swishing his tail, and even giving himself a good soak with those famously powerful claws. He may be known for slurping up 35,000 ants a day with a tongue that stretches two feet long, but today, he was all about the bubbles and good vibes.

Roger Williams Park Zoo, home to over 100 rare and fascinating species, prides itself on creating enriching environments where animals can express natural (and sometimes silly) behaviors. Each splashy moment like this one is a reminder of the zoo’s ongoing commitment to top-tier animal care, education, and global conservation. So next time you visit, be sure to swing by the anteater habitat—you never know when you’ll catch this long-tongued wonder in the middle of his next bath-time performance!
