  1. The aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is an African mammal, the only member of the order Tubulidentata. It feeds on ants and termites, which it licks up with its long, sticky tongue. 'Aardvark' is Afrikaans for 'earth pig', and it is also known as the ant-bear. Here's an image:

  6. An aardvark uses it's very long tongue to eat termites and it's powerful claws to rip open the large termite mounds.  They're preyed upon by humans (who sometimes kill it for meat), lions, hyenas and leopards; pythons also take the young.  

  7. It's an ant eating mammal I think I am sure it suckles it's young don't quote Me on that.It has a longish snout and looks like it has armour on is so cute.
