AARDWOLF


Got a thirsty aardwolf? Give it a


big glass of juicy termites.


TRUE. Aardwolves rarely drink because


they get most of the water they need from


the termites they eat.


An aardwolf uses its hefty claws to


dig deep holes to locate termites.


FALSE. Its claws aren’t strong, so an


aardwolf waits for termites leaving the


mound.


An aardwolf could hear a termite


whisper, “What big ears you have!”


TRUE. Extra-large ears hear the rustling


movements of marching termites.


An aardwolf’s “bad hair day”


technique intimidates predators.


TRUE. When threatened, the aardwolf


turns sideways, puffs out its hair, and


roars and growls loudly.


An aardwolf is full after eating


about 200 termites.


FALSE. One aardwolf eats more than


200,000 termites in a night.
