With such a tremendous (endless really) supply of ants and termites it makes sense that there would be a constant supply of critters developing to eat them.

Sometimes convergence converges.
Ants have been around for a long time. I wonder if there were any dinovarks?

“Although anteaters are commonly grouped alongside other mammals that consume social insects like aardvarks and echidnas, they aren’t closely related to them.”
“The perceived similarities are more a result of convergent evolution”
So we was wrong. It’s not divergent, must be convergent.
No such thing as Edentata.

Strangely enough, aardvarks do not appear to be evolving in a fashion similar to anteaters.

“Evolution” is currently producing new species? I’d love to see an example of a new “anteater” recently produced by “evolution.”

Because when a food source is abundant there will be things to eat them?
Or do I not understand the question?
