Pangolins primarily face threats from predators such as large carnivores, including lions and leopards, but they are not commonly preyed upon due to their tough, scaly armor. Humans pose the most significant threat to pangolins, as they are heavily hunted for their scales and meat. Additionally, they can be vulnerable to Birds of Prey and larger reptiles when they are young or in less secure habitats. Overall, while natural predators exist, human activities are the leading cause of their decline.
