What is a pangolin??? Well I am super pumped you asked ❤︎❤︎❤︎!!!
A pangolin, often known as a scaly anteater is a totally uber cute mammal from Africa and Asia that is covered in these super cool plate-like scales made of keratin.
Pangolins totally have an insatiable appetite, its estimated they can eat 70 million insects in a single year!!! To help prevent all those crazy insects attacking them when they are eating, pangolins have really cool special muscles that let them close up their ears and nostrils!!! They also have special mouth muscles that stop insects escaping once caught.
Unfortunately pangolin populations are declining, and species classification ranges from vulnerable to critically endangered, pangolins biggest threat is us!!!
