A pangolin is a mammal of the order Pholidota. A pangolin has large keratin scale covering its skin, the only mammal with this adaptation. It is found naturally in tropical regions throughout Africa and Asia. The namecomes from the Malay word, pengguling, meaning “something that rolls up”.

Pangolins are nocturnal animals which use their well-developed sense of smell to find insects. The long-tailed pangolin is also active by day. Pangolins spend most of the daytime sleeping curled up into a ball. They are very mysterious animals and a sighting of these creatures is often very rare.
