An insect-mammal crossbreed: the myrmecoleon

A myrmecoleon is a creature with the upper torso of a lion and the rest of the body is like an ant.

While it's not probable for a true insect-mammal hybrid to happen naturally, are there any evolutionary ways for a creature similar to the myrmecoleon in appearance to come into existence? Preferably a mammal with adaptations to have an ant-like body.

It would have to be about the size of a lion, perhaps a bit smaller but not by much, for my purposes.
