The first time I learned about them was when one wandered into our lab when I was in college. Was very cute indeed but people got too close to it and it hid in a corner under tables. Had to call the forest dept to rescue it.
I hear they're very precise [badumsh]
Lovely my butt. One had its way with a local Colorado man and that's how covid started
/s obviously I hope
I bet this animal can fuel so much folk medicine...

They are awesome creatures indeed, but they need our help!
fun fact they are also one the most heavily trafficked wild animal, causing them to be endangered, like mos the species.
These lil' guys are awesome!
Sandshrew!
I’m so glad! Aren’t they wonderful?
Wait till you find out about this movie about them.
Came here to post this... even though I haven't seen it yet (it's on the list!)
It's amazing. Absolutely stunning.
I looks like it'd like to tell something personal but it is feeling shy. Poor thing.
Pangolins are lovely. Shame some dumbasses are murdering them for traditional medicine and also eating? Idk who the fuck looks at these cuties and thinks, "I think that tastes good", but apparently some people do.
tbf I think cows, chickens, pigs, and fish are cute too
And that pervert who looked at one and though 'I should hit that and start a global pandemic'
Oh boy. Wait until you learn what the Chinese are doing with them.
he would never do a Pangolin food review 😭
😭
I would totally have one as a pet but they do not do well in captivity.
Who does?
Humans. Cats have done a great job there.
