It looks like a walking artichoke! And though it's a mammal, it has no teeth! See how the pangolin survives by using its long, sticky tongue to grab a meal.

  • lol who thinks that a pangolin is like a shield version of a porkupine or if an armadillo is a platemail a pangolin is a chain mail

  • @thedarkz come on nerd, it's obliviously Sandslash

  • @MsKimmova yes, it is the worlds only scaled mammal

  • they also walk on their knuckles, so as not to diminish the claws

  • I hate finding these in my boots

  • What are those? Scales?

  • Wow, that narration was painfully stupid.

  • What ever happened to simply narrating what the hell was going on in the video?

    "We are here in the Okavango Delta, located in Botswana, Africa, observing the rare & endangered mammal known as the pangolin.

    It has many hard plates upon its back and tail to defend itself from predators.

    Here we see the pangolin using his long, powerful claws to dig into a termite mound.

    He appears to have found a well-populated termite colony, and begins feeding."

    There. Fixed.
