Did you know there's a hyena specialized in eating termites? The size of a large cat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4J6NsM2Cco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4J6NsM2Cco There are more strange critters associated with termites. Aardvarks look like some kind of alien and have no close relatives in animal world. The closest would probably be elephant. They may look like a mere curiosity, but are ultra fast diggers (5 minutes to dig a burrow) and their strategy involves digging a lot of them so they always have a hideout nearby. In the end lots of their burrows ends up being occupied by other animals like warthogs. They also play a very important role in a dry season, because water gathers in those holes and animals come there to drink.
