Meet Nature's Most Adorable, Best Kept Secret: The Aardwolf

For the first six to eight weeks of their life, the baby aardwolves stay in the den with their mom. When they're about three months old, they'll begin foraging under the supervision of their parents. When they're four months old, they're considered independent, but they'll typically stay in the den with their parents until the next breeding season. Then, they'll go off on their own, and they usually won't return to their old den.
