pangolin

/paŋˈɡə(ʊ)lɪn

noun

An African and Asian mammal that has a body covered with horny overlapping scales, a small head with an elongated snout, a long sticky tongue for catching ants and termites, and a tapering tail. Also called scaly anteater.

Family Manidae and order Pholidota: genera Manis (three species in Asia) and Phataginus (four species in Africa).

In contrast with the Xenarthra, the Old World Pholidota is not trophically diverse and contains only the myrmecophagous pangolins, or scaly anteaters....

An alternative strategy can be seen in anteaters and pangolins: the tongue has lost most of its cranial attachments.
Like pangolins, aardvarks have a long, protrusile tongue and a gizzard-like stomach.

Origin

Late 18th century: from Malay peng-guling, literally 'roller' (from its habit of rolling into a ball).
