Termites

Look closely and you will see the tiny African termites that can build big hill. 

These mound of brown dirt dot the countryside. Each termite hill takes years to build and is continually being reshaped by its inhabitants. The birth of soldier termites or worker termites depends on the needs of the group at a particular time. 

The enemies of the termite include the Ardvark and the Ardwolf, both of which can create this large hole in a termite hill while digging for food. While we never saw an ardvark were did see an ardwolf at night.
