Battle Beast Original Series 3 Tanglin Pangolin

I had to look up what a "Pangolin" was when i decided to do a blog post of this series 3 figure from the original Battle Beast line.

I found out that a "Pangolin" is a "Scaly Anteater" and it's name comes from the Maylay word "Pengguling" which means "Something That Rolls Up" which is what these creatures do in the wild in real life as a form of defense becoming in effect a armored ball.

So let it be said we can actually learn something new from are toy collecting hobby because i would of never known about any of this had i not had this figure....
