The Giant Pangolin is the only scaled mammal in the world! These scales are made of Keratin, the same substance as our fingernails. When threatened, the Pangolin simply curls up into a ball and becomes impenetrable, and that’s completely impenetrable. Lions won’t go through the trouble of busting them open. The Pangolin is sometimes called the scaly anteater, because it is scaly, and eats ants. In fact, they eat up to 20,000 ants a day! That’s a lot of ants. The Pangolin doesn't have teeth, and uses its sticky saliva to get ants into its mouth.
