    The aardwolf (Proteles cristatus[3]) is an insectivorous hyaenid species, native to East and Southern Africa. Its name means “earth-wolf” in Afrikaans and Dutch.[4][5] It is also called the maanhaar-jackal[6][7] (Afrikaans for “mane-jackal”), termite-eating hyena[8] and civet hyena, based on its habit of secreting substances from its anal gland, a characteristic shared with the African civet.[9]
