They're not, they're considered to be mammals. They are warm blooded, nurse their young, have small amount of hair/fur, they live on the ground and therefore hav four legs and finally they have lungs and need air to breathe.

∙ 14y agoThe Pangolin (Manis javanica), is a mammal. Most of the species are nocturnal, and curl into a tight ball while sleeping during the day. They have been classified with several different orders in the past, from Anteaters, and Sloths, to the Armadillo, which it does resemble. Genetic testing has settled it's classification. The order is Pholidota. It is the only mammal with "keratin scales" that cover it's skin, these help it appear reptilian. For more details, please see sites listed below. No, it is a eutherian mammal. It has an "armoured" skin, similar to a crocodile, which makes it look reptilian, but it isn't.

No, pangolins are not reptiles. They birth their offspring and produce milk for them, also raising them for 2 years.

What a maniful?
Pangolins or scaly anteaters are mammals in the order Pholidota. There is only one extant family (Manidae) and one genus (Manis) of pangolins, comprising eight species. (There are also a number of extinct taxa within Pholidota.) Pangolins have large scales on their skin and are found in tropical regions of Africa and Asia. The name "pangolin" is derived from the Malay word pengguling ("something that rolls up"). In older classifications, pangolins were classified with various other orders, for example Edentata, which includes the ordinary anteaters and the similar-looking armadillos. Newer genetic evidence, however, indicates that the closest living relatives of pangolins are the Carnivora, with which they form a clade, the Ferae. Some paleontologists have classified the pangolins in the order Cimolesta, together with several extinct groups.
