The pangolin is a mammal covered in overlapping scales made of keratin, which is the same material as hair and nails. It lives in parts of Africa and Asia. When it feels threatened, it can curl up into a tight ball to protect itself. Pangolins feed mainly on ants and termites using a long, sticky tongue.
Porcupines are a large rodent related to the beaver. They are spiny like hedgehogs and echidnas but are not related to either of them.
Porcupines come in many shapes and sizes, but all have sharp quills. Porcupines can lose their quills, so if something bites a porcupine they get a mouthful of spikes.
