More About Aardwolves ...

"The Aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) is a small mammal related to the Hyena, native to southern Africa. The name means "earth wolf" in Afrikaans".
The Aardwolf looks most like the Striped Hyena but smaller with a more pointed muzzle, sharper ears, vertical stripes, and a long mane down the middle line of the neck and back. It stands about 50cm at the shoulder, weighs around 9kg, and has two glands at the rear that secrete a musky fluid for marking territory and communicating with other aardwolves.
