How does an aardvark smell sometimes?

Aardvarks have a keen sense of smell, which they use to locate food, particularly ants and termites. Their olfactory receptors are well-developed, allowing them to detect scents from considerable distances. Sometimes, aardvarks may emit a musky or earthy odor due to their diet or the natural oils on their skin. Additionally, their burrowing habits can lead to a buildup of odors in their dens, contributing to their overall scent profile.
