As herbivores, they spend much of their days foraging and eating grass, leaves, bark, fruit, and a variety of foliage. They need to eat about 350 pounds of vegetation every day.

Their range spans a variety of habitats, from the open savanna to the desert, and can be found in most African countries.

#NationalAardvarkWeek shoutout to Zambia for putting an Aardvark on both a circulating coin and a banknote - apparently the only country cool enough to have ever done either:

Zambia 1 Ngwee standard circulation coin (1982-1983; a bronze version was also in circulation from 1968-1978)

Zambia 1000 Kwacha (1000 ZMK) standard banknote (2003-2012)

Honorable mention to The Gambia for once issuing a commemorative coin with an aardvark too:

The Gambia 40 Dalasis non-circulating coin Wildlife Conservation series (1977)
