The pangolin is a scaly anteater native to Asia and Africa. They have large protective scales made of keratin and capture ants and termites with their long tongue. They are currently threatened by hunting and deforestation and all 8 species of pangolin are at risk. A Pangolin specialist group is hoping to combat poaching and educate communities about their importance! . . . . . #animalsofinstagram #animalplanet #endangeredspecies #pangolin
