Aardvark may be a difficult animal to spell, but it's not too hard to draw! You can learn how to draw an aardvark thanks to this easy, step-by-step animal drawing tutorial.

Did you know? Aardvark is the Afrikaans language word for "earth pig," so named because it burrows in the ground and its nose resembles that of a pig. Aardvarks are also called antbears.

Aardvarks are often confused with anteaters because both animals have long noses and feed on sects. You can compare the two when you check out this anteater drawing guide.
