Some Aardvark Trivialities
These delicious little creatures are charming long snouted things
with silly long ears, monsterous claws
and a funny tail. These mammals scurry along the ground
mostly at night, live in burrows, and eat ants.
They eat quite a lot of ants actually,
although strangely enough, they're not catagorized
by the Zoology fraternity as 'Anteaters'. I'm afaid there seems to be a spot of
confusion here. C'mon chaps, get on line! They eat ants and termites, and
have long tongues that ants will stick to. I think its time that they should
be brought into the Anteater brotherhood.
More Aardvarkisms
These cuddly animals are, nevertheless, refered to as Anteaters, but quite
often, also as Antbears. I'm afraid this ANT reference is a bit of a dead
giveaway as to its habit of haunting and penetrating termite hills with its
vacuum cleaner like protrusion and devouring mouthfuls of creepy crawly insects
for its own sustainance.
I dont know if they have evolved the
intellect to drink tea, but one has to say that one just cant be certain.
These marvellous snouts, designed to infiltrate an Ants Nest,
could ever so easily double as a Tea Stirrer.
Or maybe even a Tea Snorter... George.I think its only just a matter of time...
