Information[]
In the Real World[]
Ground pangolins are covered in overlapping, protective scales that protects them from predators. When threatened, they curl into a ball to protect their soft underside or secrete a foul odor. They have large, sharp claws that they use to dig, and long, sticky tongues that allow them to feed on insects such as termites. Their front claws are too big for walking, so pangolins mainly walk on their hind legs, using their long tails for balance.
In The Lion Guard[]
Pangolins are known to spray a foul odor when they feel threatened. Squeezing them in this state will also set off their odor.
