I keep getting stuck between two headings. One fits the start, the other fits the rest of the paragraph. How do you choose? rereading it isnt getting me anywhere

If A says 'pangolins have scales and eat ants', is that still an overview? Not sure when listing features becomes a description.

Scales and diet cover different things, so an overview could fit. 'Description' here seems more about appearance. We'd need the whole paragraph to choose.

If every sentence is about appearance, 'Description' sounds right. If it also covers where the animal lives or how many are left, it's doing more than that. I'd check the whole paragraph.

Could cover the scales sentence and check what's left. Does it still introduce the animal generally, or mostly describe its appearance? A detail about trafficking, for example, would go beyond appearance.
