Imagine a cat-sized anteater with an odd tongue, absurdly long and bubble-gum pink. Now add armor: overlapping scales rough as tree bark. Attack this creature, and it doesn’t bite or scratch. It simply curls up into an orb.

That’s a pangolin.

This semi-endangered creature is usually swept from one of its tropical homelands (sub-Saharan Africa, India or Southeast Asia) toward China, the largest wildlife market on Earth.
