My favorite animal is the aardvark. It just is, deal with it. Blame Sesame Street, blame The Ant and the Aardvark, I dunno.
Anyway, I'm forever annoyed by people who confuse aardvarks (which admittedly they don't see everyday) with armadillos and anteaters, so I whipped this up today:
I had the opportunity to see aardvarks at the Detroit Zoo two years ago, They didn't come out of their burrows, and I assumed asking a zookeeper to poke one with a stick just so I could see one would be tacky. *sigh*
