Aardwolf

Aardwolves are small, nocturnal canids native to the savanna regions of Africa. They are primarily insectivorous, and they hunt insects such as termites and ants by digging them out of their nests. Aardwolves have a distinct reddish-brown or tan coat, long ears, and a long, bushy tail. They are incredibly shy and reclusive, and they can often be heard making a loud, high-pitched call.
