It's not an aardvark. It's not a wolf. It's an aardwolf: a small, insectivorous mammal, native to East and Southern Africa

    Nothing to do with an aardvark - “aard” means “earth”. “Aardvark” translates to “earth pig.”

      Earth as in dirt/ground. So Aardvark is literally translated to Groundhog.

    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]
