Sharp Teeth VS Sharp Scales - A Pangolin Defense #shorts #facts #animals
The pangolin is a strange mammal that lives in Africa and Asia. These nocturnal creatures have hard scales that serve as armour against predators. When threatened, pangolins can quickly roll up into a tight ball and protect themselves with their scales. This makes them extremely difficult to eat for predators.
The only mammals with this type of armour are pangolins. Keratin, the same material found in human fingernails and hair, is used to make their scales. Each scale is held to the pangolin's skin by a tough protein known as alpha-keratin.
