The unusual mammal called the aardvark was named by South Africans in the early 19th century. In the local language, Afrikaans, aardvark means earth pig.. This name aptly describes a large, heavily built animal with thin hair and short, stumpy legs. The scientific name of the aardvark is Orycteropus afer.
