Engraving of an aardvark from a book. The aardvark is standing in side profile, in front of a landscape which is presumably a savanna, next to what look like termite hills. It has a stocky body, a long tail, bristly hairs, and rabbity ears. A teeny-tiny tongue protrudes from its elongated snout. It is standing on four stocky legs, and has flattened nail-like hooves. The caption under the engraving reads: 'Aard Vark - Orycteropus Capensis'.

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the aardvarks, for today is their special day!

This engraving of an aardvark is from the book 'The Illustrated Natural History' by J. G. Wood, published in 1863.
