  • With its giant digging claws, the pangolin is nature's backhoe. And a long, sticky tongue - capable of slurping up thousands of ants or termites every day - makes it the scourge of the bug world.

      *****
      But based on fossil evidence, it almost certainly moved like one. The forelimbs were positioned so close to the ground that like a pangolin, it had to wobble on it's hindlimbs rather than knuckle-walk, given they weren't muscular enough to walk on all fours. The animal would break it's hands under it's weight trying.
