The armadillo (transliterated as qiúyú) is a medium-sized mammal with the scientific name Manis. It is also known as pangolin. Pangolins are a type of mammal of the order Squamata. Their bodies are covered with hard scales and they are special mammals. Pangolins live mainly in tropical areas of Africa and Asia and feed on ants and termites. They usually have a unique curling posture to protect themselves. Armadillos are also widely illegally hunted for their scales, making them one of the endangered species.
Pangolins are currently facing severe hunting and smuggling pressure due to increasing poaching and growing demand for their scales for medicinal and food use. The international community and national governments are working to take measures to protect this species to avoid its extinction.
