The editorial
Source: Word of the day · 2 Sep 2024A pangolin is an animal also known as a ‘scaly anteater.’ Though they're endangered, pangolins can still be found in parts of Africa, China, southeast Asia, and India.
Pangolins are distinctive for their scaly skin and the way they react to threats, by curling up in a ball. Though they appear to be covered in large scales, pangolins aren't reptiles, and in fact their skin is very different from reptilian scales; it's made of keratin, the same material that makes up our fingernails.
