(Manis javanica syn. Paramanis javanica) is representative of the order Pholidota still found in Southeast Asia. These animals feed on insects and especially ants and termites. Pangolin lives in lowland tropical rain forests. The pangolin is sometimes also known as the anteater.
Elongated body shape, with a tongue that can be extended up to a third of their body length to find ants in the nest. Her hair was modified into a sort of large scales that are arranged to form a layered shield as a means of self-protection. If disturbed, the anteater will furl his body like a ball. He can also wrap the tail, so that the "scales" it can injure the skin intruder.
Pangolin food is insects, especially ants and termites are pests to plants so that the existence of the anteater is very important as controlling insect pest populations, extinct or reduced pangolin populations will impact the explosion of insect pests.
