The long-tailed pangolin (''Phataginus tetradactyla''), also called the black-bellied pangolin, or ''ipi'',〔(Dictionary.die.net )〕 is an arboreal pangolin belonging to the family Manidae, sometimes referred to Pholidota. The common names for this species stem from physical characteristics, such as the extremely long tail or the dark hairs that cover the underside of their bodies and limbs. Pangolin comes from the Malay word pengguling, meaning “something that rolls up”. ==Physical description== ''Phataginus tetradactyla'' has a characteristic very long tail (hence its common name), reaching a length of about . The body can reach a length of and weigh 2-2.5 kg. The males are larger than the females. Even with the long tail, this species is the smallest of eight extant species of pangolin. As with other pangolins, the long-tailed pangolin is covered with nine to thirteen rows of overlapping, artichoke leave-shaped keratinous scales. The scales are dark brown color with a brighter rim, which serves as camouflage. The feet have large, curved claws. The tip of the tail is bare and contains a sensory pad that allows the individual to seek out and grip branches. They don't have teeth, while the tongue is very long. The abdomen, underside of the arms and legs, and face is covered in dark fur instead of scales.
