What anteater with scaly?

The anteater with scales is the pangolin, often mistakenly associated with anteaters due to their similar diets of ants and termites. However, pangolins are not anteaters; they are mammals covered in protective keratin scales. These nocturnal creatures are found in Asia and Africa, and they are known for their unique ability to curl into a ball when threatened. Unlike anteaters, which have elongated snouts and long tongues for feeding, pangolins use their strong claws to dig into ant and termite mounds.
