Description
Common Name: Aardwolf
Common Name Synonyms: Proteles, Manhaar Jackal, Civet Hyena, Ant-eating Hyena
Scientific Name: Proteles cristata
Size: 40-50cm tall in the shoulders, 55-80cm from snout to tail-base + 20-30cm long tail = 75-110cm from snout to tail
Classification: Feliform
Habitat: Grasslands, Savannas
Diet: Insectivorous; diet consisted of termites, other insects, larvae, eggs, small mammals, small birds
Description: The smallest, cutest, most harmless, most specialized, and the most primitive looking of the hyenas. Aardwolves closely resembled striped hyenas, but lighter in built, and had a lack of dark throat patches, and they are insectivores, which could only mean one thing... Termites! Since the associations with aardvarks, anteaters, and even pangolins, which this little guy possessed a long sticky tongue, which it can slurp up about 250,000 termites during a single night. It is native in eastern and southern parts of Africa, living in savanna grasslands. As they spend the days, sleeping in the borrow, they can come out of the borrows, only at night, which their neighbors mistaken them as bigger hyenas, like striped, brown, and/or spotted. Aardwolves's teeth had similar bite strength like a parrot, and it was kind of painful, but more weaker than most hyenas's jaws, includes 3 of the big ones. They lived alone, breeding pair with their cubs. You know what you think, aardwolves are still cute, like when they're cubs, even when they're adults and elders. Farmers mistaken those critters as jackals in zebra's clothing who can prey upon livestock, but they should realize that these dog-like felinoids are actually eating termites. Most aardwolves are used as pest control, so they eat a lot of termites, to control the populations of those termites. Was it impossible that humans can domesticate aardwolves for pest control, to save their home from termites? I think not. When threatened, they can fluff up their manes, to make it look bigger.
