Orycteropodidae is a scientific name for the aardvark and does not actually have synonyms. However, there are several common names used for this animal in different regions, including earth pig, antbear, and anteater. The name aardvark comes from Afrikaans and means "earth pig", as it resembles a pig with a long snout and digs extensively in the ground. The name antbear comes from its diet of ants and termites. The term anteater is also sometimes used, although it may cause confusion with the true anteaters of the family Myrmecophagidae which are found in Central and South America.
