Aardwolf Improved
Category: Mammals, camera-trap | Date: Jul 22 2008 | By: tumaren
When it rains it pours - Aardwolves, that is (we are still waiting for a good rainfall). These images were taken after we flushed another Aardwolf at dusk from his burrow and set the camera to record his return. We photographed not one byt two adults going in and out of the hole and we suspect that they have pups inside.
Notice their long necks, their distinctive shape and their small frame - these are all cues to distinguish them easily from a Striped Hyena.

Great pictures. Aardwolves are wonderful animals to look at. Keep up the good work of conservation and sharing your stories.

Beautiful photos. I’ve never seen any Aardwolf pics as good as that. That really is the Audrey Hepburn of the Hyaena world. Must go and refresh my reading on them…

Didn’t even know there was such a thing as an aardwolf. One more reason to visit you in Kenya…
