For #WorldPangolinDay I am celebrated by raising awareness of this uniquely scaley mammal by making art! Pangolins are the only mammal with scales, there are six different species of Pangolins, they have tongues almost as long as their bodies, and they are a type of ant eater found in Africa and Asia. Pangolin numbers are rapidly decreasing in the wild due to illegal poaching. Their scales are wrongfully used in Chinese medicine, and their meat is considered a delicacy across Asia. The crimes humanity is committing against these endearing spiky critters is heartbreaking. You can help fight the illegal trade by spreading awareness of the atrocities committed against these beautiful creatures.
