African Wild Dog

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), also known as the African painted dog and the African hunting dog. It is Africa's largest wild dog by far.

One of the most hazardous predators of aardvarks that eat aardvarks is African wild dogs. These creatures are opportunistic predators who love scavenging on larger prey like antelopes and warthogs, but they will also gladly slay an aardvark.

African wild dogs spend a lot of time in packs and are very gregarious creatures. They hunt in packs, making it very challenging for possible prey to flee from them. Once they've located their target, they'll circle it and attack it collectively, leaving the prey helpless.

Aardvarks have the ability to dig very swiftly underground, which could provide them with a short escape, although it would seem doubtful that they would do that if they were already being surrounded.
