| In performance, the generic figures appear in groups to represent mainly dogs, pangolins, and antelopes. |
| Interpreting the extreme similarity in anteaters and pangolins remains problematic due to lingering disagreement among phylogenetic hypotheses. |
| In contrast with the Xenarthra, the Old World Pholidota is not trophically diverse and contains only the myrmecophagous pangolins, or scaly anteaters. |
| Alternatively they may climb trees in search of tree ants, as do the pangolins or scaly anteaters of the genus Manis. |
| Some mammals, like tree pangolins and tamanduas eat arboreal ants and termites. |
| In the echidna, anteaters, and pangolins, there are qualitative differences in tongue construction. |
