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.
Aardvarks are specialized for eating termites. They move from one termite mound to another, dismantling the hills with their powerful claws. Insects are trapped by the aardvark's long, protractile tongue (as long as 12 inches), which is covered with thick, sticky saliva. Sometimes, the aardvark will press its snout against an opening in a mound and suck up the termites.
