Nashville Zoo on Instagram: "Playtime with the pups!  Our two aardwolf pups can OFFICIALLY be seen at the viewing windows of the HCA Healthcare Veterinary Center! These playful little ones are the smallest members of the hyena family, native to eastern and southern Africa. Their name means “earth wolf” in Afrikaans, and unlike their larger cousins, aardwolves specialize in eating termites and have flattened, peg-like teeth that can’t chew meat."
