Aardwolves can erect this crest if frightened or aggressive to make themselves appear larger. They have long yellow-white fur, which is paler on the throat and underparts. Vertical stripes run down the sides and diagonal stripes run across the fore- and hind-quarters. Distribution They inhabit East and southern Africa.

Aardwolf Genus: Proteles Species: cristatus The aardwolf is a furry hyena that looks like a dog, but has long front legs and short hind legs. Aardwolf means "earth wolf" in Afrikaans. Afrikaans is a language spoken in southern Africa. The aardwolf was named like that because they live in underground burrows. The aardwolf can be found from Angola to Zambia and in the Fynbos of South Africa. It also lives in southern Egypt down to Tanzania. summers are hot and dry. It has many plants found nowhere else in the world. Most of the plants are scrubby with small, leathery leaves. Except for the Bontebok , animals in this region can be found in other places in Africa. The terrain is mostly grasslands, plains, rocky areas, bushy areas, semi-desert, savanna, and hills, and occasionally you would find a small mountain, or two. The aardwolf, aardvark, termites, hyenas, lions, and several kinds of reptiles and amphibians are some of the animals that live there. The aardwolf inhabits the open grassland plains in the Fynbos where its main food source, the harvester termite, builds its mounds. depth preception. Its muzzle is black, broad, and nearly hairless. The aardwolf's teeth are small, blunt (except for the canine teeth, which are rather sharp), and widely spaced. It has a humped back and low hindquarter. The aardwolf moves like a dog. Unlike a hyena, the aardwolf has five toes on its forefoot, while the hyena only has four toes. The aardwolf also has non-retractable claws to scratch in the dirt to dig for termites.

MINIMUM AZA GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING HYENAS AND AARDWOLVES IN CAPTIVITY Alan Shoemaker Riverbanks Zoological Park PO Box 1060 Columbia , SC 29202 Mike Dulaney Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden 3400 Vine St. Cincinnati, OH 45220. INTRODUCTION The family Hyaenidae includes four species, three of which are heavy set, dog-like carnivores that possess similar husbandry needs. For purposes of this discussion, there are three species of hyena: the striped or common hyena, Hyaena hyaena; brown hyena, H. brunnea; and spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta. An additional hyaenid, the aardwolf, Proteles cristatus, is represented as a mono-specific genus which, because of its unique morphology and insectivorous diet, is considered unique enough by some to be placed within its own Family, Protelidae. In view of its external similarity to the striped hyena as well as limited acceptance of this separate family (Corbet and Hill, 1991), aardwolves will also be included in this discussion. With one exception, hyaenids are solitary carnivores that function near the top of their tropic level. While this behavior will permit the solitary species to be housed singly, it also requires that the introduction of potential mates be done carefully to prevent fighting, injury, or death. Their aggressive nature and physical capabilities demand that owners exercise the utmost care when designing cages or exhibits for any species, regardless of size, to insure that specimens cannot escape or reach into adjacent cages, keeper or public areas. Caution also should be exercised when handling otherwise "tame" or hand-raised individuals.

Corporate Partners Events Calendar of Events Special Events Private Events Things to do and see at The Living Desert African Desert When you visit the African wildlife exhibits at The Living Desert, you will see some of the most unique and fascinating fauna found in what most people think as the "wasteland" of the world: the desert. Animals such as Arabian oryx, several species of gazelle, sand cats and fennec foxes, all call the desert home. Almost all are critically endangered, largely because modern hunting equipment - jeeps, helicopters, telescopic sights and automatic weapons - has given man an immense advantage over animals in the desert. The Living Desert has worked many years to successfully increase the world's population of slender-horned gazelles, sand cats, addax and Arabian oryx. A desert species, in general, has fewer individuals than, say, a jungle species, because a severe environment cannot support huge numbers of animals. As a result, human activity can push an already scarce desert species, such as the sand cat, to near extinction, as has happened in the deserts of Pakistan.
