Mammal also called a scaly anteater (8)

I believe the answer is:

pangolin

(Other definitions for pangolin that I've seen before include "animal" , "Scaly toothless mammal - nip along (anag)" , "Creature" , "Insectivore" , "Scaly anteater - a long pin (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
