| However, the aardvark is not closely related to the pig, being placed in its own order.Nor is the aardvark closely related to the South American anteater, despite sharing some characteristics and a superficial resemblance.The closest living relatives of the aardvark are the elephant shrews, along with the sirenians, hyraxes, tenrecs, and elephants.Description
One of the most distinctive characteristic of the Tubulidentata is (as the name implies) their teeth.The Aardvark is born with conventional incisors and canines at the front of the jaw, which fall out and are not replaced.Genetically speaking, the Aardvark is a living fossil, as its chromosomes are highly conserved, reflecting much of the early eutherian arrangement before the divergence of the major modern mammalian taxa.The limbs are of moderate length.The mouth is small and tubular, typical of species that feed on termites.An aardvark's weight is typically between 40 and 65 kg.An aardvark's length is usually between 1 and 1.The aardvark has been known to sleep in a recently excavated ant nest, which also serves as protection.It is an exceptionally fast digger, but otherwise moves fairly slowly.Its claws enable it to dig through the extremely hard crust of a termite mound quickly, avoiding the dust by sealing the nostrils.Its keen hearing warns it of predators: lions, leopards, hyenas, and pythons.Aside from digging out ants and termites, the aardvark also excavates burrows in which to live: temporary sites are scattered around the home range as refuges, and a main burrow is used for breeding.Only mothers and young share burrows.If attacked in the tunnel, it will seal the tunnel off behind itself or turn around and attack with its claws.At six months of age it is able to dig its own burrows, but it will often remain with the mother until the next mating season, and is sexually capable by the season after that.The aardvark's main predators are lions, leopards, hunting dogs and pythons.Aardvarks can dig fast or run in zigzag fashion to elude enemies, but if all else fails, they will strike with their claws, tail and shoulders, sometimes flipping onto their backs to lash with all fours.Wrapped in a piece of skin and worn on the chest the charm is said to give the owner the ability to pass through walls or roofs at night.The Encyclopedia of Mammals.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.START here's the Javascript summary.The opinion pieces presented here

If you were browsing the news links section of Aardvark yesterday morning you'd have seen that I highlighted a story running on the international wires that reported...The (naked) truth about naked DSL
Late last week, the final pricing schedule for the provision of naked DSL services by Telecom to ISPs was announced...Aardvark, all rights reserved.Garza, Zac Malloy, Coma Rally, The Feds, Centromatic, Mermaids Purse, Valve, The Soul of John Black, South Austin Jug Band, Slow Roosevelt, Space Cadet, Chomsky, Doosu, Deathray Davies, Collin Herring, Jack OPicerce, Calhoun, Frolic, Dedlock, Hillbilly Cafe, The Sparrows, OHNO, Chemistry Set, Color of May, Larry, Sugarbomb, John Price, South San Gabriel, Johnny Goudie, Pimpadelic, Soul Hat, Ultrasonic, Little Sister, Edgewater, Neverset, Dozen Furies, The Gourds, Color of May, Driven, Ransom, Rehab, Push Monkey, Podunk, The Von Ehrics, Warrant, Roger Cline and the Peacemakers, Alana Davis, and many more coming soon..Website Property of The Aardvark 2007.Aardvarks are nocturnal, usually waiting until dark before they emerge from their burrows.The aardvark has a short neck connected to a massive, almost hairless body with a strongly arched back.The long, tubular ears are normally held upright but can be folded and closed.If the soil is too hard, aardvarks, despite being speedy, powerful diggers, will move to areas where the digging is easier.Aardvarks are mostly solitary and nocturnal, but sometimes will come out during the day to sun themselves.Many animals, including ground squirrels, hares, civets, hyenas, jackals, porcupines, warthogs, monitor lizards, and birds use abandoned aardvark holes as shelter.It comes to the entrance and stands there motionless for several minutes.The pinkish, hairless newborn stays inside the burrow for about 2 weeks and then begins to follow its mother in her search for food.The young first eats solid food at 3 months of age and is suckled until 4 months.At about 6 months the young male becomes independent and goes off on its own, while the young female stays with the mother until after the next baby is born.The young female may then dig its own burrow a few yards away from its mother but still joins her to forage for termites.They move from one termite mound to another, dismantling the hills with their powerful claws.Predators and Threats
The adult aardvark's principal enemies are human (who sometimes kill it for meat), lions, hyenas and leopards; pythons also take the young.The aardvark has fewer teeth than most mammals.Adult aardvarks are usually solitary, coming together only for mating.To share this video, please enter an email in the field above (for multiple emails, separate with a comma).You can even adopt an entire family.WAT JE ZEGT BEN JEZELF !Over the years, dj Aardvarck (Mike Kivits) has built up a solid reputation of uncompromising quality and versatility in the dance scene, both underground and above.Hier wat spam, REDNOSE CUBA STAAT OP ONZE SITE !Congrats and gelukkige nieuwjaar !!Ik herinner me opeens een afspraak over ook een muts met crossfader voor mij van jou.Zat Jan 5 van 12 tot 4 en don jan 17 tot 3 uur.DAardvarck,wishing you a very Merry Christmas andall the best in 2008.Luca Venus aka Broken Reform present "Sweat" remixesstore :www.And of course our Family DJ's.Come with 3 people and you only pay 1 ticket!This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).December 21, 2007
