The Pangolin, otherwise known as the scaly anteater, is the only mammal in the world to be covered from head to toe in keratin scales (the same as human finger nails). These scales account for up to 20% of a Pangolin’s entire weight. They inhabit tropical forests, dry woodlands and the savannah. Some pangolins spend their time up in trees and others sleep in burrows underground.

They are about the size of a small cat, are covered in brown scales, and have long, strong tails that can be used as a weapon. The name Pangolin is derived from the Malay word ‘pengguling’, which means ‘rolling up’. This is reference to the animal’s defense mechanism of rolling up into a tight little hardened ball when they are under threat.

Pangolins have a long sticky tongue that grows from deep inside their chest cavity and can extend to over 40cm, which is longer than its own body! This tongue is a perfect tool for catching insects. They are nocturnal, solitary animals with very poor eyesight. Their sense of smell and sound is supreme and is used to hunt out termite mounds and ant hills.

Sadly, this tough looking little mammal is on the edge of survival with some populations classified as Critically Endangered. They are the most trafficked animal in the world which has led to more than a million being stolen from the wild. The IUCN estimate that a Pangolin is taken from the wild every 5 minutes!

What does the text deal with ?

• The description of Pangolin in Malay

• The general information about Pangolin

• The way to protect endangered animal from extinction

• The habitat of the Pangolin in the Tropical forest.
