Pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters ?, are the world's only mammals completely covered in scales. These fascinating creatures belong to the order Pholidota and are a unique branch of the mammalian family tree. Their name, derived from the Malay word 'pengguling', translates to "one who rolls up," a perfect description of their primary defense mechanism. When threatened, a pangolin will instinctively curl into a tight, armored ball, using its sharp scales to fend off predators. This solitary and often nocturnal animal uses its keen sense of smell to locate its food source, primarily ants and termites. With powerful claws, a pangolin can tear into an insect mound, and a remarkably long, sticky tongue then laps up its prey. While they share dietary habits with other insectivores, pangolins are not closely related to anteaters or armadillos, despite their similar appearance and behaviors. The eight pangolin species are found across Asia and Africa, inhabiting a diverse range of environments from tropical forests to savannas. These secretive creatures play a crucial ecological role by controlling insect populations and aerating the soil through their digging. The physical characteristics and unique behaviors of the world's most trafficked mammal make pangolin conservation a key focus for global wildlife organizations, highlighting the importance of protecting these incredible, scaled animals. We're working to raise awareness about the vital role pangolins play in their ecosystems and the urgent need for their protection.
