What is another word for ant bear?
Pronunciation: [ˈant bˈe͡ə] (IPA) 
Ant bear is a common name for an animal called a pangolin, which is native to Africa and Asia. However, there are several other synonyms that are used to refer to this unique creature, including scaly anteater, trenggiling, and banded anteater. One of the reasons for the confusion in naming the pangolin is its physical appearance, which resembles both anteaters and armadillos. Regardless of the name, pangolins are a fascinating species that play an essential role in the ecosystem. Unfortunately, they are also endangered due to illegal hunting and the demand for its scales, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Increased conservation efforts are necessary to protect the future of the pangolin.
