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 taxa. [28] Habitat and range

The ancient Egyptian god Set is usually depicted with the head of an unidentified animal, whose similarity to an aardvark has been noted in scholarship. [39] In my 68 years, this is the best kids A to Z alphabet book that I have read. Zany rhyme, names and words encourage kids to learn from exploring books. This book is an exciting and fun way that allows kids to enjoy their learning. They will eagerly wait for what begins with the last and often confusing letter, Z. Blench, Roger.

My kids and I have been big fans of the Oi books every since the first one, Oi Frog, so I was very pleased to be given an opportunity to review the latest installment, Oi Aardvark. Due to the current state of the world, I read it over Zoom with my three children, who are aged 7-13, and we all really enjoyed it. I then read it with my two nieces, aged 3 and 7, and they loved it too. Clearly this is a book that easily appeals to a wide range of ages! Asher, R. J.; Bennett, N.; Lehmann, T. (2009).

van Aarde, Rudi J. (1984). "Aardvark". In Macdonald, David (ed.). The Encyclopedia of Mammals. New York, NY: Facts on File Publications. ISBN 978-0-87196-871-5. The titular character and his families from Arthur, an animated television series for children based on a book series and produced by WGBH, shown in more than 180 countries, is an aardvark. [40] In the first book of the series, Arthur's Nose (1976), he has a long, aardvark-like nose, [41] but in later books, his face becomes more rounded. [42] The mysterious Pleistocene Plesiorycteropus from Madagascar was originally thought to be a tubulidentate that was descended from ancestors that entered the island during the Eocene. However, a number of subtle anatomical differences coupled with recent molecular evidence now lead researchers to believe that Plesiorycteropus is a relative of golden moles and tenrecs that achieved an aardvark-like appearance and ecological niche through convergent evolution.

Droughts negatively impact the availability of termites and ants, which comprise the bulk of an aardvark's diet. [35]Nocturnal species faced with resource scarcity may increase their diurnal activity to spare the energy costs of staying warm at night, but this comes at the cost of withstanding high temperatures during the day. A study on aardvarks in the Kalahari Desert saw that five out of six aardvarks being studied perished following a drought. [36] Aardvarks that survive droughts can take long periods of time to regain health and optimal thermoregulatory physiology, reducing the reproductive potential of the species. Hoiberg, Dale H., ed.
