Have you heard of pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters? These remarkable mammals, native to Asia and Africa, are nature's wonder, and Malaysia is home to the elusive Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica).

 

Covered in tough, overlapping scales, pangolins are uniquely adapted to protect themselves from predators. But they are more than just their armour. 

 

Pangolins play a vital role in ecosystems as natural pest controllers, feeding on ants and termites with their long, sticky tongues. Each pangolin can consume thousands of insects in a single night, helping to maintain ecological balance.

​

Fascinating, shy, and one of a kind, pangolins deserve our attention and care.
