    The name of this animal in my language is "isambane" growing up I was told that if you have an eye contact with it you, something bad will soon happen to you. So we avoided going to the forest late in the day or at night to look for the cattle if its missing. the elders were helping in preserving it.

    👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! I absolutely love aardvarks. It's smart not to destroy the complete insect nests. The colonies recover quickly. So the aardvark has food nearly forever.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).

    The Aardvark (Orycteropus Afer) is the only surviving species of the order Tubulidentata, despite its both myrmecophagous and mellivorous behavior, it is unrelated to other placental mammals with such similar lifestyle such as armadillos, anteaters, and pangolins, which belong to the orders Cingulata, Pilosa, and Pholidota respectively, in fact aardvarks are more closely related to hyraxes, elephants, and sirenians than to any of these animals.

    ​ they are closer to Elephants than to Pigs.. I'm going to go on a tangent here just to show how interesting the animal trees can get, You've heard about elephant relatives and how different in appearance they can be.. ie hyrax, elephant shrew, dugong
    the closest relative of the pig ARE ???? I would just say other artiodactyla like deer, cows, sheep, goats, giraffe (giraffes closest is the Okapi) [ Not the aardvark! ] this is kinda new: Scientists thought hippos were closest to pigs but it turns out hippos are closer to whales! artiodacyla in general are closest to whales ! there was an ancient animal in artiodactyla that swam and had an organ that only whales have - auditory bulla (can hear underwater sounds) named Indohyus, believe it or not!

      Well, I can't say I'm surprised that someone on the internet is talking trash about aardvarks. People always feel so bold and empowered to say whatever the hell they want online, even if it's hurtful or disrespectful. But let me tell you something: aardvarks are cool as hell, and if you can't see that, then you're just a lame, narrow-minded individual who probably wouldn't know a good time if it hit you in the face. Aardvarks are fascinating creatures with unique physical features, interesting behavior patterns, and a crucial role in their ecosystem. So if you're gonna hate on aardvarks, you might as well hate on all the other amazing creatures in the world too. And honestly, who needs that kind of negativity in their life? It's time to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom, and leave the petty insults behind.
