Aardvark
Aardvarks are an interesting mesh of several animal parts, such as a pig's snout, a kangaroo's tail and rabbit ears. However, they have little relation to any of those other animals. While they do enjoy a nice meal of ants with their foot-long tongue, the African-based Aardvark is a different species than the South American-based ant eater.
