The pangolin gets its name from a Malay word pengguling, which means "something that rolls up."
Pangolins are not omnivores. They are considered insectivores because they only eat ants and termites.
Pangolins are insect-eating mammals, so they are primarily consumers in the food chain. They are known to eat ants and termites, which places them at a lower trophic level in the food chain. However, they can also become prey for larger predators, such as big cats and humans, which then places them higher up in the food chain.
Another name for gold is "aurum," which is its Latin name.
I think you meant a scientific name. A scientific name is the two-part name used to refer to a species. For example:Homo sapiens is the scientific name of the human species.Felis catus is the scientific name of the housecat species.Loxodonta africana is the scientific name of the African elephant species.Quercus alba is the scientific name of the white oak species.
No mammals do. The armadillo has heavy exterior scales of bone and horn. The pangolin (scaly anteater) also has plate-like scales made of keratin that act as armor. These are not true exoskeletons, as they do not support the organs of the body.
Depends on the species you are looking for! They all belong to the genus Manis; there are eight living species: Giant pangolin: Manis gigantea Cape pangolin: Manis temmincki Indian pangolin: Manis crassicaudata Chinese pangolin: Manis pentadactyla Sunda pangolin: Manis javanica Philippine pangolin: Manis culionensis Tree pangolin: Manis tricuspis Long-tailed pangolin: Manis tetradactyla
