Where do aardvarks live? Aardvarks are quite versatile in their housing choices. They can be found in all regions, from dry savannas to rain forests, where there are sufficient termites for food, access to water, and sandy or clay soil. If the soil is too hard, aardvarks, despite being speedy, powerful diggers, will move to areas where the digging is easier.
The name aardvark comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch term meaning âearth pigâ. This name is very fitting as the aardvark resembles a medium to large size pig and is an accomplished burrower. Aardvarks are considered a keystone species by some biologists because so many other animals are heavily reliant on their burrows for shelter.
