Aardvark park
African aardvarks live
in their cool, underground
burrows during the hot
day. They forage at night
for termites, using their long
tongue to lap up insects.
Chipmunk county
There’s no mound of dirt by the
entrance of a chipmunk burrow
because they carry away the
dug-up dirt in their cheeks.
The burrows have many
entrances and chambers
of nuts and seeds.
Aardvarks may dig
temporary burrows
to hide from lions.
Chipmunks dive
into burrows before
bobcats can eat them.
Aardvarks
destroy termite
mounds to get to
their prey.
