Aardvark diet

A shy, elusive creature, the aardvark exists on a diet of ants and termites. The males can grow to weigh as much as a fully grown man, feeding entirely on the huge numbers of these insects that live on the savannah. Termite nests can be far apart and it can take an aardvark up to an hour to find one, but they'll go to great lengths to find them as they need to eat in the region of 100,000 of these insects every night.
