Armoured with overlapping scales, pangolins roam Asian and African forests at night, raiding ant and termite nests with a sticky half-metre tongue. When danger looms they curl into a living pine-cone. Relentless poaching for meat and scales is driving all eight species toward extinction.

Habitat: The Pangolin can be found in China, India, Sri-lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar
