Aardvark

 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 (𝐎𝐫𝐲𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐫) are 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦-𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 mammals native to 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚. They have a 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭, similar to that of a pig, which is used to 𝐬𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝.The aardvark is sometimes colloquially called the "𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫".

The aardvark is vaguely 𝐩𝐢𝐠-𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 in appearance. Its body is 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐭 with a 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.The limbs are of moderate length, with the 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐬 being 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 than the 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐬.An aardvark's weight is typically between 𝟔𝟎 and 𝟖𝟎 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬  . An aardvark's length is usually between 𝟏𝟎𝟓 and 𝟏𝟑𝟎 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬 .The aardvark is 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡-𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐲 in colour.

Aardvarks are found in 𝐬𝐮𝐛-𝐒𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚.The aardvark is 𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 and is a 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 that feeds almost exclusively on 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 and 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬.The only fruit eaten by aardvarks is the  𝐚𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐮𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫. In fact, the cucumber and the aardvark have a 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 as they eat the subterranean fruit, then defecate the seeds near their burrows, which then grow rapidly due to the loose soil and fertile nature of the area.
