By what other names are the aardvark known.
I went online to find a list of all S. African mammals & did not find a listing for them.
I am helping a friend in the nursing home with a memory project he is working on.

" Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move...

After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that:

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

Fascinating animals, the aardvark. Ran across this one while hunting in Namibia. It was digging up dung beetle balls and eating the larvae inserted inside.

Regards, Tim

I also saw one on my first safari in Namibia.
I understand daylight sightings are somewhat rare.

A few years back, I saw a Toyota Camry sedan that hit one in the Bedford area in the E C. The engine was almost through the firewall on the left front closing the leg well, [passenger seat here.]
