Aardvarks are furry animals that live in Africa and have pig-like faces, big ears, and good eyesight. They use their claws to dig into ant and termite mounds at night, eating the insects inside using their long sticky tongues. Aardvarks live alone in underground dens found in grasslands, woodlands, and scrub across much of Africa, and have a lifespan of around 10 years in captivity.
