Pangolins in Namibia
Pangolins are scaly mammals that eat ants and termites with a long sticky tongue. They are mostly nocturnal and rest in the day to save energy. Four species occur in Africa and four species occur in Asia, some live in the rainforest canopy whilst others live on the ground. The scales are made out of keratin and they overlap to provide protection against predators when the pangolin rolls into a defensive ball.
