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.

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!

For this week's Squee Spree face-off we have two strangely squee creatures, the Echidna (top) and the Pangolin (bottom). The Echidna is one of the only egg-laying mammals in the world and is also known as the spiny anteater, while the Pangolin is the only mammal to grow scales made of keratin all over its body!
Vote in the comments and be sure to check back Monday to see who won!

I don't know about you squeeps, but I think pangolins resemble what I imagine a squee, baby dragon would look like. Perhaps they even contributed to the ancient legends!
-Sally Squeeps
You squeeps voted in last week's Squee Spree face-off between the Echidna and the Pangolin, and the Pangolin came through victorious! So eat to your widdle heart's content baby Pangolin, you're going to need your strength this week.

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