| Like pangolins, aardvarks have a long, protrusile tongue and a gizzard-like stomach. |
| In performance, the generic figures appear in groups to represent mainly dogs, pangolins, and antelopes. |
| Young pangolins are soft-scaled at birth and are carried on the female's back for some time. |
| In the echidna, anteaters, and pangolins, there are qualitative differences in tongue construction. |
| The skull of pangolins is smoothly conical, lacking the ridges and crests found on most mammalian crania. |
| The orbital cavity, which houses the eyes, is relatively short, similar to the situation in pangolins and armadillos. |
