Aardvark
The Aardvark is a nocturnal, burrowing mammal native to Africa, with a long snout and large ears. It feeds almost exclusively on ants and termites, using its long, sticky tongue to extract insects from their nests. The Aardvark lives in burrows that it digs with its powerful claws and plays a significant role in its ecosystem by controlling insect populations.
