The spiny anteater is more correctly known as the echidna, and the scaly anteater is more correctly known as the pangolin.
In fact, neither the pangolin nor the echidna is a true anteater. Pangolins live in Asia and Africa; echidnas live in Australia and New Guinea. True anteaters live in the Americas, and there are four extant species: the giant anteater, the silky anteater, the southern tamandua and the northern tamandua.
