The aardwolf is a species of hyena. Its name means "earth-wolf" in Afrikaans and Dutch. It is also called the maanhaar-jackal. It's a termite-eating hyena.

Aardwolves have anal glands that produce a strong-smelling secretion, which they use to mark their territory boundaries. The scent fades after a few days, so aardwolves re-mark frequently to maintain a clear signal to rivals. Shout out to our fantastic Founder Bill Given for this footage! . . . #the

Despite its wolf-like appearance, the aardwolf is not a true wolf but rather a member of the hyena family (the smallest member of the Hyena family). What sets this nocturnal mammal apart is its specialized diet, consisting almost exclusively of termites. Instead of hunting down larger prey like its hyena relatives, the aardwolf uses its long, sticky tongue to
