The aardwolf, family Hyaenidae, is sometimes called a maned, or gray, jackal. |
The aardwolf is a undoubted termite specialist, lapping up exposed workers assembled along foraging trails. |
We also collected termites from their mounds to feed the meerkats and aardwolf as a treat. |
Sheep had been killed on this farm and one day the owner saw the aardwolf beside a sheep carcass. |
Hyaenidae also includes the aardwolf, which looks like a small striped hyena. |
For other animals that are called wolves but do not belong to the genus Canis, see maned wolf, aardwolf, and Tasmanian wolf. |
