@metalevolence: The thing is, a pangolin really is a type of anteater, whereas a gourna is a... well, honestly I can't figure out what a gourna is. It may be one of those made up beat types like Thragg or Undorak (twinkie, not okra, to borrow a phrase from Creative).
The point is, there's a bit of a difference between a card where they said "give us anteater art for this anteater beast card," and a card where they said "give us some weird creature art for this beast card" and for some reason were given an anteater.

Directly inferior to Swallowing Gourna.

Ah, Spitting Gourna. One of the first Magic cards I ever knew, and a component of one of the two earliest decks I ever knew; a Morph deck. Not an amazingly fast or powerful deck, but it's hard to beat morph in terms of mindgames and fun (you have a 2/2 creature and a face-down Morph creature attacks. Do you let it through and pray it's a Scornful Egotist, not a Krosan Cloudscraper?) Spitting Gourna was a component of this deck, and powerful it was not, but fun it was. This card reminds me of just what casual magic can be. Good times.

How many anteaters are there in Magic?
