Yes, an aardvark does have a tail.

Quick Scoop

  • Aardvarks have a thick , muscular tail that starts very wide at the base and gradually tapers to a point.
  • The tail is often compared to a kangaroo’s tail because it is strong, long relative to the body, and cone-shaped.
  • It helps balance the aardvark’s stout, arched body when it moves and digs for ants and termites at night.

In simple terms: if you picture an aardvark, you should definitely picture a solid, tapering tail behind it.
