What is Pangolin?

Pangolin is an unusual animal that lives in tropical rainforests in Africa and Asia. Pangolins, in the shape of an armored anger, to which they are not closely relative, are also sometimes called scaly thorns. Pangolins are the only mammals who have keratin scale as protection. Keratin is the same material that consists of claws and nails. On children's pangolines, the scales are soft, but solidify adulthood. Adult pangoline can use both their claws and sharp scale on the tail as weapons to be able to consider the attackers. They use their excellent sense of smell to find ants and termites in the dark. They then use their sharp claws to throw themselves deep into these hills, where they put their long, sticky tongues to catch hundreds or thousands of insects. This is their only food source. Intelligent animals, Pangolins often use their cleverness to get to unclear food sources. Like Poly Bug rolls, pangolins rolled into the ball in danger and spend the day bedtime in this position. PaNgolin is also a good climber who helps to reduce his chances of eating large predators on Earth like tigers. It also dugs the Norwegians in Termite Mounds, which have previously evacuated, where it can also increase young people.

Today there are eight types of pangoline. Four species are located in Asia, including Indian pangoline, sunda of pangoline, Philippine pangolin and Chinese pangolin; And four species are found in Africa, longhair pangoline, ground pangolin, tree pangolin and giant pangolin. In many areas of their reach, pangolins are endangered because they are often killed for "medicinal" purposes. In 2007, Thai customs officials announced that they had captured a shipment of 100 pangolins that were smuggled from Thailand and China for cooking.
