Pangolins are the only mammals fully covered in protective scales, and they are trafficked to the point of heavy consumption into Asia for traditional medicine and exotic cuisines. Insectivorous mammals, pangolins are considered crucial in balancing ecosystems through the consumption of large amounts of ants and termites. Threatened, all 8 species of pangolins are listed as endangered because of habitat destruction and poaching. Although conservation efforts are on course, much more is yet to be done in controlling illegal wildlife trade to ensure the protection of their populations.🐉 😟
