The aardvark1 is the orycteropus capensis, an insectivorous animal which partakes of the nature both of the ant-eater and the armadillo; agreeing with the former in its general habits, but, although entirely destitute of scaly armor, more resembling the latter as to its anatomical structure. The aardvark measures about 5 feet to the end of the tail: its skin is thick, coarse, and covered with stiff hair; the limbs short, thick, and very muscular.
This animal is very common in South Africa2
