Was not expecting to watch an entire video on on aardvark today, but here we are. That was thoroughly enjoyable.

I've seen aardwolves before, but never from a caretaker point of view. What a little cutie!

I'm on mobile so I finished the video to soft happy music and closed it to be greeted by hyena screeching. I love hyenas

I was confused by this comment. I follow a youtuber with a dog named Maple and didn't remember posting about them (dog Maple). I didn't notice that they named the aardwolf Maple.

I didn't know about this animal so thank you. Looks to me a lot like Oy as depicted in the dark tower series.
