Scaly anteater (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pangolin

'scaly anteater' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Mirror.
