The Aardvark: Searching for Africa's Most Elusive Animal
Ойын-сауық
Have you ever heard of the Aardvark?! A medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to Africa. The only living species of the order Tubulidentata. A mythical animal and mythological trickster to many African cultures.
The African jackalope? No?.. It does exist! The Aardvark is considered the most difficult animal to see in any given national park in Africa. Today, even the best of trackers don't come across the Aardvark often.
Not bad for an animal the size of an average human adolescent: 60 kg, 1,4m high, up to 2,2m long. We hear of this strange mammal, get all excited and embark on a road trip. Our journey leads us into the Karoo, the vast interior desert of South Africa-and heart of Aardvark country.
We encounter scientists, game hunters, a taxidermist, artists, hotel owners, trackers, wildlife guides, farmers and traditional healers-and with every encounter we find outmore about the elusive animal until we finally find the Aardvark.

I’d like to see more of the aardvark and less the other crap in here.

Sheesh... It's about the journey, you got to see one in the wild and in captivity. They were trying to give you a feel for how elusive they are, but you just weren't having it, no matter what, you weren't going to enjoy the ride🤷🏼♀️

Nope. A feel for their elusiveness could have been easily communicated without the extraneous bits about random people. This was a fail on multiple levels. But make sure you accuse the OP of deliberately not enjoying it. Sheesh. I bet you got all your shots too.
There is like 7 IQ points in this whole video.

Lol,that was actually what I said,I can't believe you did that dispite your grandfather divice you not to do so😢😢, Humans are the worse creatures for sure 😢🤦
I have heard the or seen the word "Aardvark" but never really looked into it, thinking that it was some kind of Scandinavian or German word, lol 😂... Never thought that it was an African animal haha 😃 I'm glad that I now know that is a really beautiful animal ☺️😏.
Secretly collecting animal skulls in your room as a child would be considered an early sign of a serial killer.

Over 40 minutes before you even see an aardvark! Horrible documentary 👎
Golly gee whiz, maybe no one ever sees them because they come looking with loud trucks ( a diesel of all engines lmao) with bright lights alerting them of your presence a mile away 🙄
