Spotted: Anteater Steals the Show from Gilles Marini

When it comes to sharing the spotlight, Gilles Marini plays nice.

The Brothers & Sisters star had to retreat to the background during a recent visit to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, where he met an attention-hungry tamandua named Luna.

Marini and his family were at the zoo park overnight for the Roar and Snore program, where they saw lions and butterflies after-hours.

The tamandua is a kind of anteater native to South America, though they've become more rare of late due to loss of habitat. If Luna is anything like her kin, she likes insects – including, yes, ants – and also bees and honey.
