Aardwolf. The aardwolf inhabits the grasslands of eastern and southern Africa
The aardwolf inhabits the grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. It is a solitary and nocturnal animal that lives in abandoned aardvark burrows and grows to lengths of 80 centimetres. The majority of its diet consists of termites, which it licks up with its long sticky tongue, but it will take other insects, birds eggs and occasionally small rodents. Its large ears enable it to hear termites moving underground. Photographed in Etosha National Park, Namibia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Aardwolf, a fascinating creature that calls the grasslands of eastern and southern Africa its home. With its solitary and nocturnal nature, this mammal seeks refuge in abandoned aardvark burrows, growing up to an impressive length of 80 centimeters. The Aardwolf's diet primarily consists of termites, which it skillfully licks up using its long sticky tongue. However, it is not limited to just termites; this resourceful animal also consumes other insects, bird eggs, and occasionally small rodents. Its large ears serve as powerful tools that enable it to detect the subtle movements of termites underground. Captured within the breathtaking landscapes of Etosha National Park in Namibia by Science Photo Library, this image allows us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. The Aardwolf's distinctive features are highlighted - from its unique biology as an insectivorous species to its solitary behavior and exceptional hearing abilities. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded of the intricate web of life that exists within our planet's ecosystems. It serves as a reminder that every creature has a vital role to play in maintaining balance and harmony in nature. Let us cherish these glimpses into the wonders of our natural world and strive towards their preservation for generations to come.
