Aardvark
(Orycteropus afer)
The aardvark is a medium-sized, burrowing mammal native to Africa. Aardvarks live in the savannas, grasslands and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. The aardvark is a nocturnal, solitary creature that feeds almost exclusively on ants and termites. In addition to digging out ants and termites, aardvarks also excavate burrows in which to live. The aardvark usually has temporary sites scattered around its home range which are used as refuges, as well as, a main burrow which is used for breeding. Main burrows can be over 40 feet long and quite extensive with multiple entrances.
