Orycteropus afer (Aardvark): Narrative - English
URL: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/orycteropus/o._afer

Aardvarks occur in a variety of habitats: grassy plains, bushland, woodland, and savanna. The presence of sufficient quantities of ants and termites seems to be the limiting factor.

There are two species, one in central Africa and the other in S Africa. The aardvark, about 6 ft (180 cm) long, has a long snout, large erect ears, an almost naked or sparsely haired body, and a long tail. Its forefeet are adapted for making burrows in the ground and for clawing open the nests of ants and termites in order to capture the insects with its long sticky tongue.

Aardvark (Earth pig, Ant bear) - English
URL: http://www.expage.com/page/aardpage

The aardvark is perhaps Africa's most unusual animal. It's name means "earth pig" and yet is not even related to the pigs. The body is bulky and the back is humped, somewhat resembling that of a rodent with much less hair. The head is long and narrow, like that of an anteater, and ends in a pig-like snout. The ears are very long, like those of a rabbit, and can move independently of one another.
