>From the current issue of SMITHSONIAN magazine:

      The aardvark is a heavy-bodied digging machine with
   a penchant for turning somersaults before entering its
   burrow.  The aardwolf, on the other hand, is a degenerate
   termite-eating hyena.  Then there are four species of
   pangolins, which resemble toothless, living pinecones,
   covered with scales.  Another three species occupy the
   myrmecophagous niche in Asia.  Like aardvarks, pangolins
   have no living relatives.

How 'bout that, Wombat?
