  1. Although Pangolins have a unique way to defend themselves from predators, they continue to be poached at an alarming rate. What are your thoughts on the conservation efforts to save these creatures?

  2. Who's here because of the coronavirus? In China people would sell these in markets in close proximity to meat being butchered and sold, and pangolins are butchered to be eaten too. Pretty disgusting stuff, but that's China for ya.

  3. They look like armadillos. Didn’t know the pengolin is considered to be the source of coronavirus until yesterday.

  4. Must be tasty! I wish shef Blumenthal show us how to make the best pangolin. Just im not shure what aside with it mash potato, chips, or boiled rise. What u think?
