Critter Clues

I am the only mammal in the world who grows scales!

I am nocturnal, which means I am active at night.

When I’m scared, I roll myself up into a ball.

4 I love eating insects — I can eat up to 70 million a year!

My tongue can be as long as my body, up to 28 inches! I use it to snack on the insects I find.

Even though I look and act similar to an anteater, I am more closely related to cats, dogs, and bears.

I live in many different habitats, such as rainforests and grasslands.
