This is the most trafficked animal in the world.
They live in Asia and Africa.
It's the only mammal known to have protective keratin scales.
It's tongue can be longer than it's body.
They curl up in a ball like a roly poly when threatened and emit noxious chemical like the spray of a skunk.
At times they exhibit a bi-pedal stance for some behaviors and are good swimmers.
Arborial species live in hollowed trees, while others dig and live in burrows.
They are insectivorous and consume an avg 140-200g of insects per day.
Pangolins have poor vision, rely on smell and hearing.
Evidence shows a close relationship to the Carnivora order that consists of hyena, bear and wolf.
They are a popular bush meat and used as medicine for many different ailments, including kleptomania.
South China and Vietnam's over consumption, in addition to deforestation, is the reason that all 8 species of Pangolins are listed as threatened to extinction, with two species are listed as critically endangered.
Here is an organization dedicated to saving the Pangolin.
