Finding that special someone can be a challenging journey with its share of disappointments. Don't be discouraged by mismatches; each experience teaches you something valuable about yourself and what you want in a partner. Though it may take time, remember finding the right person is worth the effort. After all, as the old saying goes, sometimes we need to kiss a lot of frogs before we finally meet the prince.

The air hung thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. Lord Aerion, the master of these woods, sat upon a fallen log.
His forest was more than just trees to him; it was an extension of his own being. Every rustle of leaves, every chirp of a bird, every scurrying creature was a part of him, a thread in the tapestry of his soul.
The acrid smell of smoke on the wind twisted his lips into a snarl. He sensed the intrusion, the violation of his domain. Humans. They had dared to enter his woods with torches and axes, their greed blinding them to the ancient power they were disturbing...

Aardvark, Mountain Zebra National Park, South Africa
The main reason for our visit to the Mountain Zebra National Park was in search of two of South Africa's elusive species - aardvark and aardwolf. Their prey species - mainly termites and ants - are less active during cold nights in winter enhancing one's chances of seeing these nocturnal mammals during the day.
We marvelled at our luck when we found this animal late one afternoon, and could spend about an hour in its company while it foraged. Most of the time its snout was not visible.
A few facts about aardvark:
1. Their name comes from the Afrikaans language and means "earth pig" or "ground pig".
2. They are solitary and rarely seen during the day when they sleep curled up in burrows. Their burrows, often in termite mounds, can be up to 13m long and have several entrances.
3. They walk long distances - up to 16 km a night - swinging their noses close to the ground in search of food.
4. Aardvarks are classified as omnivores, but they are far more specialised than that. They are truly insectivores, consuming termites and ants exclusively. When food is scarce and they are forced to aardvarks will eat other soft-bodied insects or wild melons.
5. An aardvark can eat up to 60 000 ants and termites in one night, thanks to its 30cm-long sticky tongue.
6. They can seal their nostrils, to keep out dust and ants.
7. They have poor eyesight but a very keen sense of smell and good hearing.
8. Their spoon-shaped claws are like steel and are used to rip into extremely hard ground and termite mounds.
9. They grow up to 2m meters long and weigh up to 60kg
10. With the body of a pig, ears of a rabbit, tongue of an anteater and tail of a kangaroo, this creature is in fact the only species in its order and probably mostly closely related to elephants.
11. They are found widespread in Africa south of the Sahara.

As it is nocturnal and shy it is rarely seen in most parks and reserves, even by rangers and guides.
The aardvark feeds on termites and ants. With its strong legs and claws it is able to dig into termite hills.

January is a little early to be building tachikomas ("Think Tanks") when there is the theme month in March, but the current BTWB contest is as good a reason as any to build one now. Still a couple weeks left to enter. This one is for the Monochrome color category. Calling this one the Aardvark due to the taper down to the long nosed tank barrel at the end.
Also inspired a bit by the anime/novel series "86"

Aardvark, Mountain Zebra National Park, South Africa.
During winter 2019 we visited Mountain Zebra National Park twice in search of two of South Africa's elusive species - aardvark and aardwolf. Their prey species - mainly termites and ants - are less active during cold nights in winter, enhancing one's chances of seeing these nocturnal mammals during the day.
We marvelled at our luck when we found this aardvark (the only one we saw over two weeks in MZ) late one afternoon and could spend about an hour in its company while it foraged. Most of the time its snout was not visible.
A few facts about aardvark:
1. Their name comes from the Afrikaans language and means "earth pig" or "ground pig".
2. They are solitary and rarely seen during the day when they sleep curled up in burrows. Their burrows, often in termite mounds, can be up to 13m long and have several entrances.

I was wandering around The Quieting and zoomed around to find these falls, which apparently were on the Aardvark area. Both owned by the same people, and both places worth a visit.
