    If I were establishing a new country and that was a native animal, that bad motherfucker is going on my flag.

    That thing looks like it’s either chill as fuck or a complete spaz. I’m not sure which…

    Eats insects, apparently.

    I am assuming it is not in fact actually closely related to a wolf/dog?

    Also, this has got me very curious what just a “vark” looks like given the suggested naming scheme going on here.

      Both names come from Afrikaans, but the animals are not in any way related. The aardwolf is related to the hyena. It’s the hyenas friendly cousin. It mostly eats termites and it’s not dangerous. The aardvark lmhas a pig like nose and it burrows like a pig, so “vark” means pig in Afrikaans. The aardvark has no other relation to a pig besides the name.

        ah, so “vark” is much like “dog” in english when it is used in animal names like “prairie dog”!

        thanks for explaining!

        The aardvark also mainly eats termites. Both species are nocturnal and rest in dens and burrows during the day. So similar behaviours and ecological niches so very fair to give them similar names.

        The hyena family is also closer related to felines than canids. Fun fact there.

    That captive aardwolf is scared though. They’re not ordinarily puffed up like this. A chill aardwolf is a smooth, slender boi.
