The Aardwolf is a small, nocturnal mammal native to Africa, particularly found in savannas and grasslands. It belongs to the hyena family, but unlike its larger relatives, the aardwolf primarily feeds on termites and larvae. Its slender body, long legs, and distinctive striped coat help it blend into its environment. Aardwolves are about the size of a domestic dog, with a pointed snout and large ears. They are known for their unique vocalizations, which include a series of growls and howls. Aardwolves are solitary animals, often marking their territory with scent to communicate with others.
