A bald and clawed creature the muzzle of which was like an alien! But at the same time – a weak and hungry orphan who charmed everyone at once. The baby of the outlandish beast survived miraculously and appeared in a shelter designed for other animals.
Oh my God! Who is this?
Well, this is probably an alien beast? It is just still a cub.
The story was like this – the truck was moving through the desert expanses of Namibia. At one of the parking lots, before starting off the driver walked around the car out of the habit, and suddenly saw something strange under one of the wheels. It was a strange creature which was curled up like a ball and grunt weakly when touched. Fortunately, the man had already seen such animals – it turned out to be a baby aardvark!
Aardvark’s mom wasn’t seen anywhere, so the little weird creature was transferred to an animal shelter.
It was immediately taken under the guardianship by the dog Zara there.
Dr. Erica de Jager said that everyone literally fell in love with a wonderful creature. Aardvarks are not aggressive, although their clawed paws are so powerful that they can even pierce the clay walls. These animals feed on termites and ants, do not conflict with anyone and often become the prey of large predators. The baby was not in danger in the shelter and it developed an excellent appetite!
Eating well is the main thing!
The grown up aardvark was taught to get food on its own and was released back into the wild. But every season it comes back to see its “adoptive mom” Erica.
