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!
A near cat becoming a near wolf due to an ecological niche just shows how amazing natural selection is and how we all evolve to our environments.
Busy little guys! Picking up 250 000 of anything in one night would be hard work
Yeah, it's really cool that species evolve to fill all the vacant niches. We see most of this in Australia where marsupials have evolved to fill most of the niches themselves, from small rodent-like animals to big predators. -
