Why are they amazing?

       Pangolins are nocturnal animals which use their well-developed sense of smell to find insect.The long tailed is also active by day.Pangolins lack teeth and the ability to chew.Instead,they tear open anthills or termite mounds with their powerful front claws and probe deep into them with their very long tongues.Pangolins have glands in their chests to lubricate the tongue with sticky,ant-catching saliva.

Ability

      When a pangolin is under attack, it will roll itself into a ball for protection since its body is covered by scales.The tongue of the pangolin is like a worm covered in slime so that it can eat ants and termites easily. Some large pangolin can extend its tongues up to 40 cm.It uses its sharp claws to dig burrows for making its home and finds food. It also has sensitive sense of smell to seek out termites and ant mounts.
