Did you know that the name "aardvark" comes from a word meaning "earth pig"?  Attractive right?  Well, maybe not attractive, but after looking at photos of this animal the name seems to fit very well.  The African Wildlife Foundation provides you with information about the aardvark's physical characteristics, behavior, diet, habitats, predators, and more!
