Aard-Vark with Rudimentary Teeth Described in 19th Century Text

A New York World writer notes the aardvark orycteropus is elusive in major zoos, with Paris displaying a specimen. The animal, six feet long with a long snout, relies on insect eating, digs rapidly, and uses a long sticky tongue to capture ants. It is timid, powerful claws defend it, and its flesh is said to taste like pork.
