0 a mammal found in Africa and Asia that eats ants or termites, catching them with its long, sticky tongue. It has a long nose, and its body is covered in scales (= hard, flat pieces): --
The pangolin can be farm-raised, but pangolin farms must generally also raise termites to feed the livestock.
These pangolins are not often observed in the wild due to their solitary, secretive, and nocturnal nature.
Like other pangolins, it has large, overlapping scales on its body which act as armour.
Initially, his armor was scaled and plated, similar to a pangolin exoskeleton.
Caracal, wild boar, pangolin, leopard, hyena, jackal, fox, jungle cat, porcupine, spotted deer, wild bear, and neelgai are other animals found here.
They are a kind of pangolin anteater, but unlike their real-life relatives, they have no scales or claws.
Other commercially important species are bream, reeves shad, eel, cat fish, rainbow trout, salmon, whitebait, mullet, mandarin fish, perch, sturgeon, murrel and pangolin.
Another example is the tricuspid pangolin, an intriguing and amusing animal of which only a few are left and perhaps the most interesting of the pangolins.
