Ground Pangolin (Smutsia temminckii), family Manidae, order Pholidota, Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique

Vulnerable, due to habitat destruction and overhunting/harvesting for meat.

Feed on ants and termites.

The order Pholidota contains only pangolins.

A keen sense of smell enables the pangolin to detect the presence of ants and termites in their nests beneath the sand. Her sticky tongue, some 30cm long, enables her to collect them from deep underground. David Attenborough | BBC Earth

What’s up? Not the ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii). To spot this critter, look down! This armored mammal spends most of its time on the floor of its habitat, creating burrows beneath the surface to snooze in during the day. Under the cover of darkness, it emerges to forage for insects like ants and termites. It uses its long tongue to slurp up prey whole. When threatened, it can roll up into a ball, protecting its soft body from predators. Its keratinized scales act as a built-in suit of armor. This species can be found in parts of Africa including Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa.

An African white-bellied tree pangolin baby hitches a ride on its mother at Pangolin Conservation, a nonprofit organization in St. Augustine, Florida. The mammals are illegally killed for bush meat and their scales, which are claimed to have medical value.

Eurotamandua joresi lived during the mid-Eocene, about 47 million years ago, in the lush subtropical forests that covered what is now central Germany.

When it was first described in the early 1980s it was classified as an anteater due to its close resemblance to some modern species… but there were big problems with this interpretation. Anteaters have a sparse fossil record, but they're known to have originated during the early Eocene in the isolated island continent of South America – so Eurotamandua's ancestors making it all the way to Europe within just a few million years would be pretty remarkable!

Also, on closer inspection it didn't have the distinctive skeletal features of a xenarthran mammal, suggesting it wasn't an anteater after all.

Instead more recent studies have identified it as a close relative of pangolins, part of an early branch of the group that didn't have the characteristic large scales.

About 90cm long (~3'), Eurotamandua would have a lifestyle much like the anteaters it convergently resembled, using its large claws to rip open ant nests and a long sticky tongue to feed.
