African Pangolin in a Woodland Setting
This depiction features an African pangolin inspecting the ground near a mossy woodland rock and native plants. A woven storage basket rests on the forest floor beside the creature. The scene highlights one of the most unusual mammals in the world as it searches for insects among the forest leaf litter.
Scales and Survival of the Pangolin
Pangolins are the only mammals covered entirely in large protective scales made of keratin, the same material as human fingernails. When threatened by predators, a pangolin rolls itself into a tight, impenetrable ball and emits a foul odor to protect its soft underbelly. These nocturnal creatures use long sticky tongues to harvest thousands of ants and termites each day.
