Sunda Pangolin

The Malayan pangolin, also called the Sunda pangolin, is covered from near the nostrils to the tail tip by overlapping, sharp-edged scales. These are olive-brown to yellowish, while pale hair covers the face and underside. It has a small conical head, reduced external ears, a toothless mouth, powerful digging claws, and a sticky tongue capable of extending about 25 cm. Its muscular prehensile tail assists climbing.

Malayan pangolins inhabit primary and secondary forest, thick scrub, savanna, gardens, and plantations across Southeast Asia. They are mainly solitary, nocturnal, and terrestrial but climb trees readily and can swim. Individuals excavate or appropriate burrows, often near ant or termite colonies. Ants and termites are collected by tearing open nests with the foreclaws and inserting the long tongue. Females generally produce one young, rarely two, after a gestation of about 130 days.
