Question: is an aardvark a marsupial?
Answer: Classification. The Aardvark is the only surviving member of the family Orycteropodidae and of the order Tubulidentata. ... For the same reason, Aardvarks bear a striking first-glance resemblance to the marsupial bandicoots, bilbies, and numbats of Australasia, which are not placental mammals at all.
