It can grow up to 7.5 feet long, has a fleshy, tapering tail, a long tubular snout, large ears and an arched back. The aardvark uses its powerful claws to break open termite nests; then it uses its tongue, coated with sticky saliva, to eat the insects in the nest.<ref>http://library.thinkquest.org/11922/mammals/aardvark.htm</ref>
