What animal looks like a pig, have rabbit-like ears, and a kangaroo's tail, yet not related to any of them?

Aardvarks look a bit like pigs, with rabbit-like ears and a kangaroo’s tail, yet they are not related to any of these animals. In fact, one of their closest living relatives is the elephant!

Aardvarks are tough mammals that live throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. They can eat 50,000 ants in a night and are brilliantly adapted to digging with their spade-shaped feet. Aardvarks are a vital part of the ecosystem as they are prey for many species, and their old burrows provide homes for other animals such as African Wild Dogs.

Another clone; Xyntrell has had 3 questions published, but does not play. Xyntrell has answered no questions yet.

William Laughlin, the poorly worded question alerted my suspicions immediately.

William Laughlin, Good call. As you noted Performance 0.0%. At least the picture didn't independently give the answer, nor was the answer stated in the question, as is so often the case.

The name means earth pig, in Afrikaans.

William Laughlin

David Roy, Yes. Grammatically, the question is a real mess!

William Laughlin, Perhaps Xyntrell is Filipino since 2 of the possible answers are Filipino terms (for water buffalo and prawn)? Of course, "he" is all QC, regardless.

Albeck1994, Yes, it seems Quizzclub is generating new ones daily, but they seem to have an affinity for Lilly Nicolson, who gets credit for over 720 questions in the last 5 months, but she answers no questions.
