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.
