#WorldPangolinday has passed us by but here are some wee Danglin’ Pangolins. A parachuting pangolin and its ant lunch on a tinier parachute saying EEP! There is a rounder of blue sky with a couple of clouds behind them and the parachute has orange and white stripes

Danglin’ Pangolins…

Because - why not? Late for #worldpangolinday but here we all are

photo:- a charming pangolin strolls along the ground looking for ants and termites to hoover up. text:- a belated happy world pangolin day. it was on saturday. i'm sorry i missed it. pangolins are the most trafficked species on the planet, which is ridiculous because there is no benefit to ingesting their scales. it's just keratin, like our fingernails.

2015: "This is where [President Obama's] trade deal comes in... As the most progressive trade deal in history, the TPP [has] environmental standards that combat wildlife trafficking in countries that sign on as our trading partners." #WorldPangolinDay

official auction photo 1, front/top view “A rare wooden storage container carved in the form of a curled-up pangolin - a mammal known for its protective keratin scales and long, prehensile tail. The container is crafted from two pieces, with a hollowed interior that opens on iron hinges, secured by a wire clasp. The curled tail serves as a functional handle. While suitable for various storage purposes, it may have been used as a kola nut box. Several [4] species of pangolin inhabit West Africa and hold cultural significance in African communities, where they are incorporated into traditional ceremonies, rituals, and medicinal practices.”

sign: [photo] “CHINESE PANGOLIN (Manis pentadactyla) The pangolin, or scaly anteater, is the only mammal that is covered from head to toe in keratin scales, similar to human fingernails. The animal's defense mechanism is rolling up into an impenetrable, armor-like ball when threatened, enabling it to withstand the jaws of large feline predators. However, this same defense mechanism makes capture by humans very easy. Pangolins are the most trafficked animal in the world, and their populations are rapidly declining.”

The figures are shown grabbing the mammal by its back legs but also seem to be losing their balance and giving the pangolin a chance to escape. The dramatic tension of this mask's upper section presents a sharp contrast to the serene human face below.”

Decided to doodle something for #WorldPangolinDay!

On #WorldPangolinDay, we shine the spotlight on the most trafficked mammal on the planet. Pushed to extinction for their scales & meat, all 8 species are vulnerable or critically endangered.

Today is World Pangolin Day 🦔

Let’s stand together to protect the gentle Pangolin. the world’s most trafficked mammal.
Silent, harmless, and vital for nature, they are disappearing because of illegal wildlife trade.
Be their voice.

World Pangolin Day 2026: Why This ‘Walking Pinecone’ Is the Most Heavily Trafficked Animal on Earth Discover why pangolins are the world’s most trafficked mammals and how saving them protects forests, farms, and our planet.

"Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked wild mammals on Earth, despite full international trade bans. Their natural defense -curling into a ball- works against predators but makes them tragically easy targets for poachers."

#WorldPangolinDay 💚
Pangolins are considered the most trafficked wild mammals in the world, due to the demand for their meat & scales. But change is underway!

- China removed all pangolin-based medicines from its official medicine list in 2025 🧵

A side-by-side composite photograph featuring wildlife conservationist Kelsey Prediger on the left and a ground pangolin on the right, framed together with a warm savanna background. On the left, Kelsey Prediger, a woman with long light pink hair, smiles brightly at the camera while sitting in tall golden grass during late afternoon light. She wears a light blue/green button-up shirt, blue jeans, and holds a compact trail camera or monitoring device in both hands. On the right, a ground pangolin (scaly anteater) is captured in a natural walking pose on dry, earthy ground, its body covered in large overlapping tan-brown scales, small head lowered, long tongue slightly extended, and powerful clawed forelimbs visible. The image highlights Kelsey's work in pangolin conservation, with the animal appearing alert and characteristic of its shy, nocturnal nature in the African bushveld.

Third Saturday in February is World Pangolin Day!

Did you know pangolins rely on their sense of smell, instead of vision, to find ants and termites ?

Illustration of a Pangolin with a speech bubble that reads, “Hi there! You may not have met someone like me before. I’m a pangolin, and I’m here to tell you all about pangolins.” A board on an easel is displaying an illustration of a pangolin with the text, “Meet the Pangolin! Pangolins are mammals that are covered with scales. Pangolins live in Asian and Africa.” In the background, a pig and a giraffe can be seen looking towards the pangolin.
