Good habitat, love the way the aardvarks manipulated it in to looking like that. lol

What's up with the mural though?
 
The Detroit Zoo has a number of Egyptian murals (giraffe and aardvark exhibits highlight two of them) because apparently the Egyptians were the first group of ancient people to keep animals in captivity. So the murals are a type of homage.
 
good to see aardvarks outdoors, many zoos keep them indoors in Nocturnal Houses which doesn't let them dig like these aardvarks in Detroit.
 
The best aardvark exhibit in North America is at the Detroit Zoo.
