Correct answer is: Termites
The aardwolf is an insectivorous mammal! Like aardvarks, they eat mostly termites. Unlike other termite-feeding animals, like the anteater and the aardvark, the aardwolf doesn't dig up its prey. It lacks the claws needed for digging. Instead, it laps up termites from the ground using its long, sticky tongue.

Correct answer is: False
They communicate largely through smell. Aardwolves have two anal glands that secrete a black, musky fluid that they use to mark their territories and send messages to other aardwolves. They smear these secretions on foliage to establish territories and attract potential mates. They tend to be vocal only when confronting intruders or predators. In these cases, aardwolves may make a clucking sound, a deep a growl, or a roar.
