In Egyptian mythology aardvarks are seen as mischievous and powerful, as they are associated with the god Set or Seth, the god of chaos, war, and storms
@@gianpaolopacegp well it’s actually pretty controversial, although I’d say the majority of people say that he’s an aardvark, I mean he really looks like an aardvark. Part of the controversy is that aardvarks don’t really live in Egypt, but it definitely wasn’t impossible for an Egyptian to run into an aardvark, I mean they literally live everywhere in Africa except for the north.
@@Panteni87 possibly, or a bunch of Egyptians walked down to South Sudan or something, saw an aardvark and were like “that thing is freaking terrifying”
The aardvark’s appetite is huge, and it can consume up to 50,000 ants in a single night. With its powerful front claws, the aardvark rips the nest apart, probing inside with its long, sticky tongue and drawing the insects into its mouth. Aardvarks also use their claws to create underground burrows, digging tunnels up to 13 m long. Once abandoned, these may be colonized by a host of other creatures, but the aardvark keeps the entrance closed when living there.
Take notes, those worm filled bottles would make an awesome enrichment item
They are so cute! Really cool to learn about how impactful they are

@@ryomahoffman6803 A lot of animals used to live in Egypt that are (locally) extinct now... maybe aardvarks are one of those

Adorable little earth pigs 😊
4:01 - I like how that one rests the front paws on the knees while using the tail to sit down.
Love this series! Keep it up, are you planning to do this with more animals?
I did work experience at this Park :D
When I was there, there was someone there named "Kat Lyon" and she took care of the Bengal Tigers. Not joking.
They don’t have any direct close relatives but their closest relatives are elephants and manatees
Really?
Yep, and don't forget Hyraxes there related to elephants, too
At 8:00 - one of the worms escaped!

We should get those globes in Planet Zoo!
There's still so much missing i'd rather have them focus on...
I had to look this up to make sure it's real and not something I made up when I was a kid. Very helpful!
There so cute they are like a cross between a rabbit a pig and an ant eater
Encore une superbe vidéo sur les animaux en réel. MERCI
Admit it: When you play Planet Zoo, you will name one of your aardvarks Arthur.
