The aardvark is a strange-looking animal with rabbit ears, a pig's snout, a long tail, and very strong, sharp claws for burrowing. In a way, these features are very similar to anteaters, which is probably the "commonality" of animals that like to eat ants!

Aardvarks are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa and prefer to live alone in deeper burrows. It mainly feeds on insects such as ants and termites, and the only fruit it eats is a kind of cucumber that grows in the soil.

They are active at night, scratching through termite nests with their sharp claws, then using their long tongues to stick and eat the termites. Aardvarks are very edible and can eat up to 50,000 termites in one night.

Because of its cowardly nature and lack of self-defense, the aardvark relies on its sensitive hearing to detect external enemies and then hides or escapes into a hole as soon as possible.

In today's drawing tutorial, let's learn how to draw an aardvark. At first glance, it looks a bit like an elephant - it has a long "trunk" and also a tail. And the truth is that it is really related to an elephant!
