Aardwolf

Aardwolf is a small, insectivorous mammal that belongs to the hyena family. They are found in eastern and southern Africa and are primarily nocturnal, spending the day in burrows or dens. Aardwolves are about the size of a large domestic cat, with a height of around 30 centimeters at the shoulder and a weight of between 9 and 14 kilograms.

Aardwolves have a distinctive appearance with a long, pointed snout and large ears. They have a mainly insectivorous diet, feeding primarily on termites, but may also eat other insects, such as ants and beetles. Unlike other hyenas, they are not scavengers and do not eat meat.

Aardwolves are solitary animals and are generally not aggressive towards humans. They are, however, sometimes preyed upon by larger predators such as lions and leopards. Aardwolves have a conservation status of "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List, meaning that they are not currently facing any significant threats to their population.
