Can somebody find me a diagram of a giant anteater’s digestive system?
& maybe tell me how it is different or alike to a human’s digestive system?

Both the anteater and humans are vertebrate mammals (hot-blooded, skin covered with hair and having spinal columns) mammals (you should know those two distinguishing definitions) we share common traits: stomach, intestines, esophagus, etc.
