🐾Aardwolf
El lobo de tierra o proteles (Proteles cristata) es una especie de mamífero omnívoro de la familia Hyaenidae, que, al contrario que las demás hienas, es un tímido insectívoro solitario. Es el único miembro de su género y de la subfamilia Protelinae. Existen dos poblaciones diferenciadas del lobo de tierra. La primera se distribuye en el sur de África: Botsuana, Namibia, Sudáfrica, sur de Angola, sur de Zambia y sudoeste de Mozambique. La segunda se encuentra en zonas que abarcan desde Tanzania central, Uganda, Kenia, Somalia hasta los desiertos de Etiopía, Sudán y el sur de Egipto.
