Aardvarks are nocturnal, usually waiting until dark before they emerge from their burrows. Their night-time travels average one to three miles but can range up to 18 miles a night.

AWF’s fast-growing membership and ever-increasing efficiency are helping us weather the storm of decreased government support for environmental programs. With your contributions, the black rhinos, mountain gorillas and elephants will continue to recover, the great cats will stop their sudden decline, and the bonobos will flourish once again.
