Why do aardvarks cover their noses with a flab of skin?

Aardvarks don't cover their noses with a flab of skin. They have a long, sticky tongue that they use to catch ants and termites, which is their primary food source.

The fleshy, disc-shaped protrusion at the end of their snout is actually their nose and not a flap of skin. It is very sensitive and helps them to locate their prey by smelling the ground.

Here's a breakdown:

* No flab of skin: Aardvarks don't have a flap of skin covering their nose.

* Sensitive nose: Their nose is a fleshy, disc-shaped protrusion at the end of their snout.

* Important for hunting: It's highly sensitive and helps them locate ants and termites by smell.
