Pangolin.


This wonderful animals appeared on Earth 66 million years ago! These little creatures mammals. Their body length of 30 to 88 cm, tail is about the same. These amazing creatures live in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. They live in forests and in open areas. In pangolin very long tongue (40 cm), covered with sticky saliva. This saliva attracts many insects. They feed exclusively termites and ants. Pangolin nests are not only dining room, but also a kind of "cleaning station": an animal to sit in front of angry ants and rastopyrivat flakes and insects crawl under them, starting to bite pangolin, but he suffers; after a while pangolin scales dramatically closes crushing ants.
They live alone. It breeds once a year. After 150 days after mating, 1-3 cubs are born. The kids are well developed, covered with soft scales, which hardens in a few days. A month later, the little pangolin begin to feed on insects.

In an emergency, pangolins curl up into a ball, which is open only to the power of a lion or a tiger.
This kind of dying out due to the fact that many illegal companies are killing these animals for meat and scales.
