Aardvarks

Aardvark is an mammal animal from Africa. Its name comes from the phrase "earth pig" in the language Afrikaans.

An aardvark is similar to an anteater, but they are not related.

Adult aardvarks weighs about 50 Kilograms (110 pounds) and a little more than one meter (45 inches) long.

Aardvarks eat mostly ants and termites. They have a long sticky tongue which makes it easy to pick up many ants at once.

Aardvarks are nocturnal, which means they are awake at night and asleep during the day.
