What do pangolins use to hunt?

2023-04-23 09:20:12 90

Pangolins are herbivores, and their diet mainly includes various plants and insects. Pangolins mainly feed on ants and termites. When living in the wild, they dig the soil or use their sharp claws to turn over bark and rocks to find food. In addition to insects, pangolins also eat some fruits, insect larvae and other small arthropods.


It is worth noting that because pangolin scales are regarded as medicinal materials and luxury goods in some Asian countries, they face serious illegal hunting and smuggling problems, which has led to the death and extinction of many pangolins.
