Topic: [APPROVED] Tag alias: civet_hyena -> aardwolf

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

As Wikipedia points out:

The aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) is an insectivorous species of hyena, native to East and Southern Africa. Its name means "earth-wolf" in Afrikaans and Dutch. It is also called the maanhaar-jackal (Afrikaans for "mane-jackal"), termite-eating hyena, and civet hyena, based on its habit of secreting substances from its anal gland, a characteristic shared with the African civet.

(Underline emphasis added by me.)
