Aardwolf

Proteles cristata

The aardwolf is a small, shy mammal that looks like a mix of a hyena and a fox. It's mostly nocturnal, meaning it's active at night, and loves to eat termites.

生息地: Grasslands

外見

The Aardwolf has a distinctive shaggy mane running along its back, which it can raise to appear larger. Its yellowish-brown coat is marked with several vertical black stripes, making it look like a slender, striped hyena. They also possess large, pointed ears and a long, bushy tail.

Despite their hyena-like appearance, Aardwolves are shy, gentle, and solitary creatures.

The name Aardwolf means 'earth wolf' in Afrikaans, referring to their burrowing habits.
