 | | The aardvark is found throughout much of Africa, from the southern part of Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope, in habitats ranging from woodland, bush country, and savanna, to rain forest. |
 | | A primarily nocturnal animal, the aardvark lives in burrows and feeds on ants and termites, occasionally eating other insects, the fat mouse, and a species of wild ground cucumber. |
 | | The aardvark is up to 2.3 m (7.5 ft) long, including the fleshy, tapering tail, which it uses to throw earth backward when it burrows. |
