In Real Life
Temminck's Pangolin (also known as ground pangolin, cape pangolin or steppe pengolin) is a pangolin species. It's the only one found in southern and eastern Africa.
As other pangolins, their body is almost completely covered in overlapping, protective scales, making about 20% of its body weight. The underside of their body is not protected by scales, having sparse fur instead. When threatened, they curl up into a ball in a defensive position, leaving only their scales exposed, thus protecting its more vulnerable underside from threats.
Temminck's Pangolins' diet consists exclusively on ants and termites, they tend to choose specific species to prey upon and completely ignore all others, even retaining their prey selectivity in arid environments.
