Welcome to a fun adventure where we learn all about aardvarks!
Aardvarks are special animals with a backbone, just like us! They are part of the mammal family because they have fur, breathe air with their lungs, and keep warm all by themselves.
Aardvarks make their homes in Central and Southern Africa. You can find them in places like savannahs, brushlands, and even rainforests. These are all places with lots of plants and animals.
Aardvarks love to eat insects, especially termites and ants. That’s why they are called insectivores. They dig tunnels to hide and sleep safely. Each tunnel has a special room just for resting!
Baby aardvarks are called calves or cubs. They grow up in about one year and become big aardvarks ready to dig and explore.
Did you know that aardvarks can dig up dirt super fast? They can do it in just 15 seconds! Isn’t that amazing?
Aardvarks are not in danger of disappearing, but it’s important to learn about them so they can stay safe for many years. We can help by learning and sharing what we know about these cool creatures.
Here’s a funny joke for you: Why don’t aardvarks eat uncles? Because they like ants better!
Thanks for joining me to learn about aardvarks today! If you have more questions or want to learn about something else, let us know. Keep exploring and having fun!
Build an Aardvark Habitat: Gather some materials like small boxes, paper, and crayons. Create a mini habitat for an aardvark using these materials. Think about where aardvarks live and what they need to survive. Draw or place pictures of savannahs, brushlands, or rainforests around your habitat. Discuss with your friends or family why these places are good homes for aardvarks.
Insect Hunt Game: Go outside with an adult and look for insects like ants and termites in your backyard or a nearby park. Use a magnifying glass to observe them closely. Talk about why aardvarks might like to eat these insects. How do you think aardvarks find their food? Share your findings with the class or your family.
Aardvark Digging Challenge: In a sandbox or a safe digging area, use a small shovel or your hands to dig a tunnel like an aardvark. Time yourself to see how fast you can dig. Can you dig as fast as an aardvark? Discuss what makes aardvarks such good diggers and how they use their tunnels for safety and rest.

Aardvarks are vertebrates, which means they are animals with a backbone. They belong to the mammal group because they have fur, breathe with lungs, and are warm-blooded.
They live in Central and Southern Africa and can be found in areas like savannahs, brushlands, and rainforests.
Aardvarks are insectivores, which means they eat insects, primarily termites and ants. They live and hide in tunnels to protect themselves, and each tunnel has a sleeping room where the aardvark can be safe while resting. Aardvark babies are called calves or cubs, and it takes about one year for them to be fully mature.
Aardvarks are amazing! Did you know that they can dig up dirt in just 15 seconds?
Aardvarks are not in danger of going extinct, but we need to educate ourselves to ensure they will survive for many more years to come.
