The pangolin

The pangolin is a mammal that eats ants. It is known as the"Scaly Anteater" for good reason. The pangolin is covered in sharp plates, when it curls up into a ball it is practically impenetrable. Interesting fact: The Giant Pangolin has a 2 foot long tongue that is anchored to its hips. The pangolin is an awesome animal.

Here are some links to pangolin information.
