They're sooo megacute! I want one too!
PS I know pangolins since I was a kid (from animal encyclopaedia). I totally love them.

Pangolins!!! *Nearly* as cool as echidnas, but not quite. Nothing can beat an echidna.

I'd only read about them in a poem by Marianne Moore. Thanks for the image!

My favorite animal used to be the armadillo.

Guess what it is now!

Just like the original, but more stylish.

As I recall, various pangolin species are fairly widely distributed in the old world tropics.

Awesome! but don't pangolins live in Africa instead of China?

Now some one should send in pics of Armadillos and Aardvarks.

The LA zoo had one of these until recently - the hunters who'd caught him decided to sell him to some tourists instead, who, not being sure what elese to do, took him along until he was nabbed by customs. Sadly, he died suddenly a while back, although he had apparently been thriving for nearly two years. See story below:

Pangolins are like armoured anteaters!!!
