The pangolin is a rare, scale-covered animal that rolls up into a ball to protect itself from predators and has a tongue that's longer than its body. It is believed to be the most-trafficked mammal in the world. It is trafficked for its meat and scales. At least 10,000 pangolins are thought to be trafficked illegally each year.
What do you think should be done to help save this mammal?

I think it's really sad that this happens to any animal at all. There isn't really anything we can do, but I'm sure there's a way we could cut down the numbers that all this is happening to and which ever animals suffer this.
make it illegal for them to be trapped or hunted? they will probably be extinct in a few years.
I didn't even know these existed, I wish you had a picture so I could see it
I think they should do what they do for every other animal. Have there be a fine. Or some sort of punishment.
They should have a punishment if people do kill these mammals. I believe that they will help protect this mammal someway or another.
We could but some in the zoos so that we would have some in captivity at least. I have no idea on what to do here because a lot of people are poaching this animal.
take some of them and reproduce them until big numbers and just keep releasing them while trying to stop trafficers
That would help.
Wow!! This is neat. I have never heard of this. It's so cute!! People should just be more aware of this animal, I would have never heard of this animal or seen it if not for this forum post!!
