The World’s Only Scaled Mammal Is ADORABLE

- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2017
- There’s no mammal in the world quite like the tree pangolin. Covered in reptilian-like scales that protect it from predators in the wild, the pangolin will curl into a ball when threatened. Unfortunately, such tactics do little to protect it from humans. Superstitions about the unproven healing properties of pangolin scales, and its popularity in the illegal pet trade have taken a serious toll on the worldwide population, and today it is endangered.

Why do humans have to destroy everything wtf
That's a fucking Sandshrew.
I rescued a baby Palawan Pangolin. He was the most gentle of all my wildlife animals. They used to be so common and we didn't have so many ants and termites. Now without these sweet creatures, ants and termites are a plague to us.
pengolin: hey let me copy your homework
The baby pangolin is soooooo cute!
When I was in second grade pangolins were my favorite animal and I had a fantasy about having one as a pet. That was all based on one picture I saw in a book, and I've never seen video of one before, so thanks.
Mammals are pretty crazy. We have some that have scales, some lay eggs, some can swim very deep in the ocean filled with terrifying creatures you can't see until it's too late.
Tree pangolins living 66 million years ago:
so...people think that pangolin scales which are the same material as nail and hair has healing properties?
they are really endangered, back then in my country they are very common animal, even my father could find it in river town near forest, yet now none of them can be found in my town
Pangolins have been my favorite animals and I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows what they are
It is interesting to see that the videos great big story made are so delightful and the comments section are so hateful.
Such amazing animals, and the very thing they have for protection is what they are killed over, utterly unbelievable
One of the most endangered wild species in the world, in Indian it is protected under wildlife protection act 1972 SCHEDULE 1, as equal to Lions and tigers..
WHO'S THAT POKEMON!
Very balanced for a baby to ride on the moms tail
Y'all's asking why this channel isn't more famous, but their fame is rising, so are the comments and hate. I wish I could do more for the pangolin, but atm all I can do is spread awareness and knowledge. Also the pangolin is most notably in SE Asia.
Ohhh look how cute they are!!!
I feel so bad for these cute guys
I've seen one of these before, they are such truly amazing creatures
