Explanation:
A pangolin is a small animal found in Asia or Africa. It has a long snout and eats insects. Pangonlins have their bodies covered by hard scales which, in a way, may remind someone of a pine cone. A pine cone is the fruit of a pine tree. It has scales that open to release the seeds. We can also keep in mind that the pangonlin and the pine cone have similar brownish colors.
