The Giant Pangolin is a large, shy creature that can be found throughout Africa and parts of Asia. They live in burrows or hollow trees and eat ants and termites. Giant Pangolins are threatened by poaching and habitat loss, but there are conservation efforts underway to help protect these amazing animals.

The Giant Pangolin is the largest of the eight species of pangolin and can weigh up to 60 pounds. They are covered in scales that protect them from predators and parasites. Giant Pangolins have long, sticky tongues that they use to eat ants and termites. They are shy creatures and prefer to live in burrows or hollow trees, but they can also be found climbing in trees or walking on the ground.
