Pangolin

Farewell widdle scaly anteater, it has been fun hanging out with you this week. You make the world seem a little more magical and of course squee!

This scaly creature is almost too squee to be true! What is he? An armored anteater? A dragon? I just have to find out!

This nervous baby pangolin is just along for the ride on mama's tail, still trying to figure out how to roll into a proper ball!

Pangolins are the only mammals alive today that have bodies covered with thick, keratin scales - the same substance human nails are made from! It's no wonder this scaly squee has many nicknames like "scaly anteater", or "living pine cone", etc.
