Unique Facts About Miombo Woodlands and Pangolins

Miombo woodlands cover vast stretches of central and southern Africa, dominated by trees that shed their leaves during dry seasons. Pangolins rely on these open forests to hunt for ants and termites, using strong claws to dig into soil and logs. Their thick keratin scales provide natural protection against predators while roaming through forest ground cover.

  • Pangolin skin: pale grayish-brown around the underside
  • Tree trunk: dark brown or gray bark

Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Pangolins

Why do pangolins have scales instead of fur?
Pangolin scales are made of keratin, the same material as human fingernails, forming a protective armor against wild predators and biting insects.
How do pangolins find food in woodland environments?
They use an extraordinary sense of smell to locate underground ant and termite nests, then extract the insects using a long, sticky tongue.
