Aardvarks are animals.
They live in several areas of Africa. They can be found in both the dry savanna and the rain forest. Aardvarks look much like the South American anteater, but the two animals are not related. Sometimes called earth pigs, aardvarks are mammals, which means they don t lay eggs, but have their babies live. The mother aardvarks produce milk for their young to drink.
