Description:
The pangolin is the only mammal covered in keratin scales, similar to human nails. When threatened, it curls up into a ball to protect itself. Its tongue can reach up to 40 cm, longer than its body, and is used to scoop up thousands of ants and termites in one go. Its sticky saliva helps it catch prey easily. As a nocturnal animal, the pangolin is active at night, making it a mysterious and fascinating creature to discover!
