AARDVARKS
Photo by Marie Hale
The solitary animals are nocturnal and spend the day resting.
At night they use their amazing senses to sniff out termites and ants.
If threatened, Aardvarks can dig very quickly and disappear below ground and out of sight.
They may also kick or slash their attacker with their large claws.

Ants live in organized colonies that can contain thousands or even millions of ants. Each ant is either a worker or queen. Every colony has at least one queen that lays all the eggs. Some species will even attack large animals with an army of worker ants!
