The Pangolin has a narrow snout with a long tongue for finding and sticking to ants. They have short rather stumpy legs, but use their sharp long claws to tear apart ant, and termite hills, their main source of food. The size of the Pangolin depends to a great degree on the species, but they average between 12 and 40 inches, with females usually being smaller. They have no outer ears or teeth. But, they are considered to hear very well, and their stomach is designed for the extra work load of digesting the food they eat totally. They also curl into a tight ball to sleep during the day, and to protect themselves, using their long tail to cover their face, and flexing their scales. The Pangolin is covered head to tail in "keratin scales", which are armor like and "razor-sharp" once they mature. This species is listed with a status of "endangered" with a population trend "decreasing" according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or IUCN Red List. A current report of July 2009 states the Pangolin populations are in serious trouble, due to the Chinese increased demand for their meat, and other body parts for medicinal purposes.
