Pinecone or pangolin?

Have you ever seen a walking pinecone? 

Allow us to introduce you to pangolins, the world's only mammal fully covered in armor-like scales; they roll up into a pinecone-like ball to protect themselves when threatened.

😥The sad truth: While pangolins are adorable, they're also the most-trafficked wild mammal in the world due to the high value of their scales.

• But there's hope for the unique species: a wild giant pangolin was spotted last year in Niokolo-Koba National Park in Senegal, West Africa – 24 years after they were thought to have gone extinct in the area.
