Pangolins may be some of the strangest mammals living today. They are the only known mammals who posses scales and they have some wild tongues. Pangolins are also some of the most endangered mammals on our planet. These animals are often cited as the most trafficked mammals in the world. There are eight recognized pangolin species and all of them are in some degree listed as vulnerable to extinction. Let's take a moment to learn more about these amazing scaly anteaters.

You missed an opportunity to point out that the closest relatives of these adorable walking pinecones are the bloodthirsty Hyaenodonts of prehistory.

Pangolins are so amazing! I love that you shared that they can close their eyes, ears and nose! It's amazing the adaptations that they have. I forgot to mention that adaption in my video, but there's just so many cool things about this group of animals it's hard to choose just a few :)

@AnimalFactFiles 4 жыл бұрын

Ahh I completely agree! There's always more facts we could add, and it's hard to chose what to leave in versus what to leave out. Best of luck with your channel and animal adventures!

@@AnimalFactFiles At least, we are spoiled for choice on facts, eh? Thank you so much, it's very exciting and a bit nerve-wracking :)

Agreed! And I completely understand. 😆 I still have days where I feel both (read: every day). You'll do great! 😉

Nice video. I did learn something new about pangolins. Speaking of such mysterious animals, I suggest a video on the obscure Musk Deer.

Glad you learned something new! I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the suggestion. =)

@@AnimalFactFiles You're welcome. Exactly how long is the list currently?

@AnimalFactFiles 4 жыл бұрын

Long enough to do almost two years worth of videos. Too bad we aren't super humans or else we could produce videos even faster. 😆
