As FishTank said, those are just IPv6 addresses. Anon names are really just their IP address. They are much longer because they are intended to provide the jillions of IPs we actually need. Many IPv4 addresses are "fake" (don't correspond to a specific device) because there aren't enough available.

Most networks will spit out an IPv4 address if requested, but it may be a shared IP. Some setups are set to only deliver IPv6 addresses by default.
