Pangolin is a unique beast with an amazing and controversial appearance. For some similarities with the battleship he was called scaly anteater, and the ancient Romans called pangolins ground crocodiles. The Chinese saw in the shape of a lizard and fish and reptiles, so dubbed the dragon-carp.

Calm pangolin resembles a big lump, and in case of danger it instantly collapses into a tight tangle. In Malay, the name of the animal sounds like pengguling, which literally translates as "folding into a ball."
