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.

And that pervert who looked at one and though 'I should hit that and start a global pandemic'

fun fact they are also one the most heavily trafficked wild animal, causing them to be endangered, like mos the species.

They are awesome creatures indeed, but they need our help!

I would totally have one as a pet but they do not do well in captivity.

Humans. Cats have done a great job there.

I looks like it'd like to tell something personal but it is feeling shy. Poor thing.

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.
