7. Aardwolf

The Aardwolf or ‘earth wolf’ is a mammal that makes its home in Africa and although the Aardwolf resembles a Hyena this unique mammal’s diet actually consists entirely of insects. The name ‘earth wolf’ was given to the Aardwolf as it spends at lot of time in its underground burrow and as such is rarely seen. Even though the Aardwolf is nocturnal it doesn’t have to compete too much for food due to its unique diet, however it does mean that the Aardwolf has to consume a massive amount of insects such as termites and ants to get its fill.
