Example: Aardvark Orycteropus afer
TL 1,4-1,8 m. Resembling no other mammal in our area, the Aardvark has a long, pig-like snout, elongated tubular ears, a heavily muscled kangaroo-like tail, an arched back, and stocky legs which end in spade-like nails. It has poor eyesight but the senses of smell and hearing are well developed. There is a sparse covering of coarse hair, and the skin colour is grey-fawn but is influenced by the soil colour of the area. This is one of the few species that has benefited from overgrazing and trampling by domestic stock. By trampling the grass, the stock make it more accessible to the termites upon which the Aardvark feeds. A species of wide habitat tolerance, it shows a preference for open woodland, sparse scrub and grassland. This strange animal is almost exclusively nocturnal, spending the day in large, self-excavated burrows. The males are much more nomadic than the females. During their search for the ants and termites which make up their diet, they may cover considerable distances each night. The holes that they excavate at the base of termite mounds are a sure sign of their presence. The single young, born during the rainy season, has a mass of 2 kg at birth (adults 40-70 kg) and it begins to follow the mother when it is about three weeks old.

They are founders of the African Carnivore Research Programme and the African-Arabian Wildlife Research Centre. They travel extensively and are involved in various research programmes dealing with carnivores and other animals.
