THE AARD-VARK. Here is one of the most clumsy, odd looking animals in the world. The name, which is Dutch, signifies " Ground-hog/' 



although the animal is very widely different from that which we know by the same name. It lives in southern and central Africa. Its coarse, bristle-likt 

 hair, long tail, elongated head and ears, strong claws, and long tongue make a strange picture. (Orycteropus capensis.)
