schleich WILD LIFE Aardvark 14863

It is not easy to spot the cute aardvark in the African savannah. It is a nocturnal animal: as soon as the sun rises, it retreats to its underground shelter. It also does this when it senses danger coming. So it is safest in your pocket! The aardvark is at home on the African savannah and actually looks more like a rabbit with those long ears. But that is where the similarity ends. Instead of carrots, it nibbles on ants. With its long snout, it tracks down insects that live underground. In no time, it digs them up. It is mainly active at night. Who stays awake long enough to keep the aardvark company?
