Do Aardvarks travel in herds?
anybody know?

Neoma is looking for a picture of a herd of Aardvarks for me but is having limited success?

anybody know anything?

is my premise wrong? is the word wrong? what would you call a group of aardvarks? are they anti-social or camera shy therefore no such picture of a herd?

tend to be rather solitary creatures.

5. I thought aardvarks lived in Elwood City


I don't think aardvarks have groups as such. The males and females live in separate burrows. They are solitary and may be territorial.

7. I think they are solitary creatures and have poor eyesight.

13. LOL!
I saw my first and only aardvark at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago when I was a kid. For some reason, it has really stuck with me. :)

8. A group of aardvarks are either a flock or a herd
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 07:55 PM by salvorhardin
At least according to this (credible I'm sure) reference: http://www.peegore.com/animals/animalterms.html

While aardvarks are cute, I think I'd rather have an intrigue of kittens just because it sounds so cool. So does a murder of crows, but then, I think having a group of crows in the house would be rather unsanitary.

You'll have to excuse me, I've been coding all day and am thus unable to think in non-literal terms. :-) What does photoshop have to do with my post?
