This African species, whose name means \"earth wolf\" in Afrikaans, are most often classified in the family Hyaenidae, however, some scientists place the aardwolf in a family of its own called Protelidae. Unlike its larger carnivorous and scavenging cousins, the aardwolf is an insectivore and exists mainly on termites. Externally, aardwolves resemble hyenas, but their skull characteristics and dentition are different. For instance, an aardwolf's skull is much less robust than a hyena's, and because of their diet of insects, their teeth are smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents with discoloration in certain spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkull Length 13.9 cm (5.5 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkull Width 7.8 cm (3.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkull Height 5.5 cm (2.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Skulls Unlimited International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64578095284593,"sku":"OK-211898","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1467\/6660\/files\/DSC01390.jpg?v=1789403049","url":"https:\/\/www.skullsunlimited.com\/products\/real-aardwolf-skull-211898-639247382551272734","provider":"Skulls Unlimited International, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
