Aardvark’s prey

Once upon a time, there was a hungry aardvark named Arthur. He had been searching all day for something to eat but had yet to find anything suitable. Arthur was about to give up when he stumbled upon a long line of ants marching in a straight line.

He immediately started to follow the line and soon enough found his prey. Arthur was delighted and couldn’t believe his luck. He eagerly began to gobble up the ants one by one, savoring their crunchy texture.

As he was eating, he suddenly got an idea. He thought to himself, “I wonder if other animals know about these tasty little creatures?” And with that, Arthur decided to leave a trail of ants wherever he went in hopes that other hungry animals would follow the trail and find food just like he did.

And so it was that the humble ant became known as the aardvark’s prey, and many other animals soon discovered their nutritious and delicious value. From that day forward, the ants lived in harmony with nature and were always there to provide a tasty snack for any hungry creatures in need. And that, my friends, is why the answer to the crossword clue ‘Aardvark’s prey’ is ‘ANT’.
