This is a pangolin. There are eight different species for pangolins and all of them are endangered. They are hunted for their scales and meat. This is happening so much now that we're to the point that they could be endangered very soon.
When you research them, they can be quite interesting creatures. They are one of the only mammals with scales. They can curl up into balls with thick protection. And they have tongues as about as long as their bodies. All the different species are different. They mostly all eat ants and they can be found in many parts of the world. They also walk on their hind legs.
I want many other generations to know how amazing this creature is. Please help! Learn more by visiting the World Wildlife Fund or by checking out this cool video about them.
