The answer is up to you! We think everyone should have at least two plastic pangolins, and maybe a lot more. We have two styles to choose from. The little toy pangolin above is 4 3/4 inches long from nose to tail (to the end of its tail), and the one below is 6 inches from nose to tail.
Pangolins are strong diggers, and that's what this pangolin appears to be doing. They live on a diet of ants and termites, and they spend a lot of time digging these insects out of mounds, fallen logs, and stumps. The size of 6 inches is measured from nose to tail (it's actually more like 6 1/2 inches). The size difference is a little deceptive if you only go by the numbers, because our digging pangolin is hunched over and its tail is curved. The little pangolin is small enough in comparison to be a baby next to the parent. Come check out our cool plastic pangolins! We think everyone should have at least one or two! They make excellent toys, gifts, replicas for school projects and dioramas, collectors' items or decorations for your next pangolin-themed event!
Pangolins are sometimes called "scaly anteaters," although they live in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, while true anteaters live in Central and South America (the lesser anteaters live in Central America and the giant anteaters in South America).
