Pangolins are the world’s only wholly scaled animals; they are mammals that use their scales to protect themselves from predators by curling up into a tight ball. They eat termites using their sticky tongue, much like an anteater. They are one of the most trafficked animals in Asia and Africa. All eight species are protected under national and international law, as their scales are used in traditional and folk medicines and remedies, and their meat is considered a delicacy.
