Aardvark, an African mammal. The name means “earth pig” in Afrikaans and refers to its resemblance to a pig and to its habit of digging. The aardvark is 4 to 7 feet (1.4 to 2.1 m) long, including the muscular, 2-foot (60-cm) tail. It is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 110 to 155 pounds (50 to 70 kg). The aardvark has a long, narrow head, long ears, and a blunt snout. It has tubular teeth that grow continuously throughout its life. The aardvark's forefeet have large, sharp claws, which are used to dig rapidly in soil or sand. Aardvarks are hunted for their edible flesh and for their hide, which is used to make leather clothing and bracelets.
The aardvark is Orycteropus afer of the family Orycteropodidae.
