| The Aardwolf looks like a small striped Hyaena. An Aardwolf is about the same size as a Jackal with a mane which runs from behind its ears to its tail. Aardwolf has a yellow coat with dark brown vertical stripes on its sides. The Aardwolf's black tipped tail is long and bushy. Aardwolf habitat is in dry open thorn veld. A shy nocturnal animal, the Aardwolf is seldom seen during the day. Normally single but sometimes seen in small family groups. The Aardwolf feeds on insects. Termites and larvae are probably the main part of the Aardwolf's diet. Normally three young are born per litter. | ||
