Common Name: Asian Pangolin
Common Name Synonyms: Indian Pangolin, Thick-Tailed Pangolin, Scaly Anteater
Scientific Name: Manis crassicaudata
Size: 82-121cm from snout to tail, 30-50cm tall in the hips
Classification: Philodotan
Habitat: Jungles, Grasslands, Savannahs, Deserts
Diet: Insectivorous; diet consisted of termites and ants
Description: In Asia, pangolins are known to be the most endangered species in our world. Like most other pangolins, they can curl themselves into a ball, when they are threatened by most predators, besides humans, like clouded leopards, leopards, lions, tigers, hyenas, wolves, dholes, and bears. Most pangolins lived in their home, called the burrows. So, these pangolins had the similar feeding habits of aardvarks and anteaters, which they can use their long sticky tongues, to eat the ants and termites. Some Asian pangolins are the most critically endangered species, like Chinese and Sunda pangolins. Some other Asian pangolins are endangered species, like Indian and Phillipine pangolins.
