>From the current issue of SMITHSONIAN magazine:
The aardvark is a heavy-bodied digging machine with
a penchant for turning somersaults before entering its
burrow. The aardwolf, on the other hand, is a degenerate
termite-eating hyena. Then there are four species of
pangolins, which resemble toothless, living pinecones,
covered with scales. Another three species occupy the
myrmecophagous niche in Asia. Like aardvarks, pangolins
have no living relatives.
How 'bout that, Wombat?
