"scale" is "kapyplita", but Turnip's suggestion of "karda" makes sense too; 
I'd say "kapkarda" rather than the other way around. But for "pangolin" I'd 
say "pangolino" (which is a fu'ivla, not a lujvo) or "gurmabru" (translating 
from Malay).

I'd say "cifybanfi", "ci'orbanfi", and "ma'urbanfi", as long as the context 
makes it clear whether I'm talking about frogs or salamanders. There's also 
the "aclotli".

I say "jutmro" for "extinct".

You mean "mu'o mi'e". "tu'u" is the terminator of "tu'e", which is used to 
group together several sentences.
