Might be being a bit dense here, but how do you get anteater as the answer? when that is an eight letter word and the clue gave the answer as a nine letter word.

Happy to be shot down in flames on this one.

Well spotted. I didn't notice it as I was too busy removing "sirree" from "Eastern Eritrea" to check the word count, but you're absolutely right. I think it was just a little error from Mr. C - I'm certain "anteater" was the right answer.
