An Aardvark is an incredibly fast digger. It is so fast, it digs holes to hide in as a way of escaping a predator.
An Aardvark can dig a 5 foot hole in a matter of 60 seconds! It helps when you are armed with one of the longest, and strongest clawed feet -- just look at those nails!
* Aardvarks are shy animals and prefer to avoid humans. They are not a threat to humans.

Antbear Lodge, hit by the COVID 19 travel drama, is doing its level best to survive. Its more than just a business, its a family of 13 staff with zero income for the next few months before any recovery period can start.

Fun Fact Friday!

Here's a little section from our recent slackpacking trip through the Drakensberg... I, Byron, absolutely adore waterfalls, big or small and so this was one of my favourite places we passed.

However, since this is a Fun Fact Friday (yes on Facebook, not Insta) we have decided there is something more pertinent to be done - a game!

This photograph was taken at the ZuluWaters Game Reserve. The two lovely owners of the place are quite new to the position, so shall we try to guess some of their history?

Mike and Bettina were ___(occupation)___ in ___(country)___, before moving to beautiful South Africa!

A. IT engineers in Germany
B. pig farmers in Denmark
C. lawyers in Norway

Guess in the comments below!
