Artist Linda Calverly featured the Pangolin on her website for a recent Paint Party Friday. I had never heard of this mammal with reptilian scales. It seems they are highly trafficked in Asia and Africa for their meat. 'Their meat is considered a delicacy and pangolin scales are used in traditional medicine and folk remedies.' They are protected but endangered by illegal trade.
