The springhare (Pedetes capensis), or springhaas, is not actually a hare, but a member of the order Rodentia
The springhare resembles a small kangaroo (though unrelated) with well-developed hind legs, which allows it to leap over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in a single bound.

Pangolins have large keratin scales covering their skin and are the only mammals with this adaptation
Pangolins lack teeth and the ability to chew. Instead, they tear open anthills or termite mounds with their powerful front claws and probe deep into them with their very long tongues. Pangolins have an enormous salivary gland in their chests to lubricate the tongue with sticky, ant-catching saliva.
