The pangolin is a unique and fascinating animal that is often referred to as a \"scaly anteater\" due to its long snout and sticky tongue, which it uses to capture ants and termites for food. They have a unique defense mechanism where they roll into a ball, exposing only their armored scales to predators. Unfortunately, this defense mechanism is not enough to protect them from humans, as they are one of the most heavily trafficked animals in the world, hunted for their meat and scales, which are believed to have medicinal properties in some cultures.
