RE: The aardwolf (Proteles cristata) is a species of hyena that does not hunt large animals, but instead eats about 250,000 termites each night!
The aardwolf is very different from the other three hyena species, with the biggest difference being that it does not hunt or scavenge large animals at all.
And also they like resting in burrows during the day.
...the aardwolf is able to eat about a quarter of a million termites by itself, which is obviously a huge number even considering the fact that termites are very small.
I guess their tongue gets very tired after such a dinner...
Oh yeah, they must have some pretty big muscles in the tongues compared to us humans.
