Aardvarks and Aardwolves

The aardvark is a home-maker for many animals. Even one of the aardvark's enemies goes into a left behind home. And one of the enemies is the spotted hyena.  Yup, you like laughs, but not the hyena laugh. Now we know that termites make some really tall towers. Sometimes as tall as a one story house, but it is also very strong - as strong as concrete. And that is a problem  for the aardwolf. Now these creatures are relatives of the spotted hyena. Now you see, the aardvark's claws are strong enough to destroy the termite towers. Aardwolves depend on that. They may look like a spotted hyena, but it is actually a termite eater. And like the aardvark, the aardwolf has a long slurpy tongue. But the aardwolf's tongue can't suck up as many termites as an aardvark can. The aardvark can just about suck up 100 termites in each slurp.
