Pangolin

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.
