  2. Introduction A pangolin is a very unknown animal. But if you do take the time to learn about this animal, you will find it very interesting.

  3. Defense Although this animal is pretty small, it defends itself in interesting ways. To defend itself it may roll into a tight ball, squirt smelly liquid from glands in it’s rear, or even urinate on the animal that threatens it. EWW!

  4. Adaptations Adaptations help an animal live, and that’s exactly how these features help a pangolin. A pangolin has a long snout and tongue to help it get it’s food. It also has hard flat scales to protect it. All of these physical adaptations help a pangolin live.

  5. Fun Fact Did you know there are only seven species of pangolins? This is only one of the fun facts I will tell you. A pangolin does not have scales on it’s snout, face, throat, belly or inner sides of its legs. Instead these areas are fleshy and hairy. A long tailed pangolin is the smallest species of pangolins. It only weighs three or four pounds. The giant pangolin is the biggest species of pangolins. It is almost six feet long. COOL!

  6. Conclusion After reading this report, you can understand how cool a pangolins life is. I hope you enjoyed reading about this animal as much as I enjoyed researching it!!
