The aardvark is a nocturnal mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. Its name comes from an Afrikaans word meaning "earth pig," although it is not closely related to pigs. Aardvarks spend much of the day sleeping in burrows they dig with their powerful claws and emerge at night to feed primarily on ants and termites. Their keen sense of smell helps them locate insect nests, which they break open before using their long, sticky tongues to capture thousands of insects in a single evening.
