I think the little one is a pangolinling (or should it be pangolinlet or pangolinkin?).
Having made the acquaintance of an immature African tree pangolin, I can confirm that it was a good deal larger than the one in the photo (roughly cat sized).
Ive just checked the records, but they could be wrong.
They have in the museum (although obviously not all on display, long tailed, tree, giant ground, temminicks ground, chinese and malayan pangolins.) There are also serveral speciemens which do not have species listed.
Of which the skins are mounted are one unidentified, one tree, one chinese and one malayan.
If it is what they have done as a tree pangolin it was collected and mounted in 1893, so could very easily be wrong in species!
