Every time we lose a species, we breal a life chain which has evolved over 3.5 billion years~ Jeffrey McNelly.
Let's not let that happen with Pangolins.

[Dr Masika @DrMasikas]

These incredible creatures are completely unique and could be lost forever. @PangolinProject is doing the most to ensure we don't lose them in Kenya and the larger East Africa.

A thread on Pangolins
Pangolins are the only Mammals whose bodies are covered with scales rather than fur. The scales are made of Keratin like human fingernails.
