Are pangolin's omnivores?
Pangolins are not omnivores. They are considered insectivores because they only eat ants and termites.
How do pangolin reproduce?
Pangolins are solitary animals that typically come together only for mating. The female pangolin has a gestation period of about 70 to 140 days, after which she usually gives birth to a single offspring, although twins can occur in rare cases. The mother nurses her young for several months, during which the baby clings to her back while she forages for food. After a few months, the juvenile pangolin begins to explore on its own but may stay with the mother for up to a year.
Where is the pangolin in the food chain?
Pangolins are insect-eating mammals, so they are primarily consumers in the food chain. They are known to eat ants and termites, which places them at a lower trophic level in the food chain. However, they can also become prey for larger predators, such as big cats and humans, which then places them higher up in the food chain.
What mammal has an exoskeleton?
No mammals do. The armadillo has heavy exterior scales of bone and horn. The pangolin (scaly anteater) also has plate-like scales made of keratin that act as armor. These are not true exoskeletons, as they do not support the organs of the body.

Where do pangolines live?
Eight different pangolin species can be found across Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Four pangolin species occur across Asia: the Indian pangolin, the Chinese or Formosan pangolin, the Malayan or Sunda pangolin, and the Palawan pangolin. Four species are found in Africa south of the Sahara Desert: the Cape or ground pangolin, the tree pangolin, the giant pangolin, and the long-tailed pangolin. The four Asian pangolins are distinguished from the African species by the presence of bristles which emerge from between the scales. Pangolins are found in a variety of habitats including tropical and flooded forests, thick brush, cleared and cultivated areas, and savannah grassland; in general they occur where large numbers of ants and termites are found. Asian pangolins in particular are threatened by loss of habitat due to expanding agriculture and other human uses. Pangolins dig deep burrows for sleeping and nesting that contain circular chambers. Large chambers have been discovered in terrestrial pangolin burrows that were big enough for a human to crawl inside and stand up. Some pangolin species such as the Malayan pangolin also sleep in the hollows and forks of trees and logs.
