What is an aradwolf?

An aardwolf is a small, insectivorous mammal native to Africa, scientifically known as Proteles cristata. It belongs to the hyena family but primarily feeds on termites and other insects, using its long tongue to extract them from their nests. Unlike its larger relatives, the aardwolf is nocturnal and has a slender body with a distinctive striped coat. It plays a vital role in controlling insect populations in its ecosystem.
