Aardvark Trunks | comment |
Anteaters and aardvarks are somewhat common in fiction while other ant-eating mammals such as echidnas and pangolins are more rarely seen. Due to their large, vacuum-shaped snouts resembling the trunk of an elephant, their snouts are often depicted as much more flexible than they are in Real Life. Real snouts are bony, unlike the boneless, muscle-filled trunk of an elephant, and thus cannot be flexed around like an elephant's trunk.note Ironically in the case of aardvarks, they actually are related to elephants, both being in the clade Afrotheria. To these ends the tip of the aardvark snout is muscular and can move, but nowhere near to the trunk-like extent frequently seen in fictitious media. | |

The Casagrandes: In "How To Train Your Carl", an anteater at the zoo is shown with a flexible trunk, sucking up ants and making the same trumpeting noise as the elephant it speaks with. | |

In Serina the noot alludes to this trope, being an anteater-like animal which a movable, trunk-like snout. This is because it is actually a member of a highly aberrant canary lineage that developed facial tentacles, so the snout is pretty much all muscle. | |

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course: A massive anteater is one of the opponents faced in the level "Bootlegger Boogie". His mouth is placed at the base of the snout rather than at the tip, making the snout a trunk of sorts. Despite this, the tip of the snout still has a tongue come out of it, making him essentially have two mouths. As if that wasn't weird enough, in the anteater's game over quote, he still refers to his trunk as a "nose." This is also true of the villainous anteater in "Ants in the Plants" (see the Western Animation section), which the anteater's design seems to have been based on. | |

The Tom and Jerry Show (1975): In the episode "Termites Plus Two", the titular duo brings in an anteater as one of the ways to dispose of a termite colony. As the anteater sucks up the insects, its snout becomes bloated. Its mouth also briefly moves to the underside of its snout when Tom helps it hold in a sneeze, caused by a feather that the termites were carrying in order to escape. | |

The Ant and the Aardvark: The titular Aardvark looks more like an anteater with his mouth at the end of his snout, and even then, it's super flexible and he usually tries to eat Ant by sucking him rather than slurping him up. More prominent in Pink Panther and Pals, where the Aardvark's snout is curved upwards like an elephant trunk. | |

Cerebus the Aardvark: When the comic started, Cerebus had a long snout with a somewhat pig-like nose that was the same width as his snout. As the comic progressed and Sim's art improved, his snout shortened and the nose broadened, becoming more round and completely obscuring his snout if seen from the front. He also has two mouths, one on each side of his head just behind his snout. Cirin and Suenteus Po, the two other aardvarks that appear in the story, have similar mouth/snout arrangements but their snouts are more tapered and their noses aren't as wide as Cerebus' is. | |

Ice Age: There is a creature that is identified as an aardvark, but though it has the ears of an aardvark, it has the bushy tail and coloration of a giant anteater, and its snout is weirdly elongated to be reminiscent of an anteater (not an aardvark), but that animal would have a tiny mouth at the tip of its snout, whereas the cartoon critter has its mouth at the base. | |

In the first Arthur book, Arthur the aardvark had a long nose but he looked more like a brown tapir (or a giant anteater, without the stripes or the plumes of hair on the tail) than an aardvark, with a medium-sized pig-like snout pointing downward. In the second book, he had a long face with his mouth at the end of it (but not an accurate snout). In following books, his nose was gradually shortened until in his later design (and in the animated series) Arthur and his family had absolutely no snouts at all, making them not even look like aardvarks. Awkwardly, said first book was entitled Arthur's Nose, in which Arthur faces bullying for his long nose and learns to accept himself as he is, making for a rather Broken Aesop. | |

From the episode "Who Bopped Bugs Bunny?", Sappy Stanley, an elephant, has his mouth drawn at the tip of his trunk rather than the base, making him resemble an aardvark or anteater. A Perfecto Prep elephant from the episode "The ACME Bowl" also has his mouth at the tip of his trunk. |

Happy Tree Friends: Sniffles the anteater has a very expressive mouth at the tip of his trunk. Additionally, his trunk was originally very long and droopy but later shortened, though is still somewhat flexible. A few episodes have even shown that his trunk is hollow and he has another pair of jaws at the base of his skull, pushing this trope even further. | |

Charlie the Anteater in Rio 2 seems to have more of a flexible tongue. He is correctly portrayed as having a long tongue just like real anteaters. However, there is still some Artistic License – Biology involved, as he is portrayed as having an Overly-Long Tongue that is sometimes shown stretching to his feet. He also suffers a lot of Tongue Trauma throughout the movie by Nigel. | |
