Author Topic: The Pangolin  (Read 1004 times)

What the forget is a Pangolin?
This little critter.

Found in Southeast Asia, the Pangolin is the only mammal with actual scales, and the only carnivore without any form of teeth.  And it's cute.

Just look at that little face and legs aawww

Sadly, these little guys are poached and hunted because eating them supposedly helps with menstruation and their scales supposedly help various physical illnesses (spoiler: they don't.  The scales are made of the same stuff as your nails and hair are).

And, yes, these guys have an international holiday, declared just this year.  February 16th is international Pangolin day.

Discuss these cute little forgeters.

The saddest part is that these little guys are easily stressed out, and high stress is apparently lethal to them.  Taking one out of the wild is almost certain death for them.

If you bred them over generations to interact with humans in an ever inclosi g environment you could make them not stressed by humans and lack of wild.

it looks like one of those pokemon things

forget what was it called

We should slowly introduce US pop culture to their environment by broadcasting Gangnam style on a plane-wide screen over their habitat.
