Found in tropical Africa and Asia, some species dig underground burrows while others live in hollow trees. They forage mostly at night and rest during the day. Pangolins climb with strong, gripping forelimbs and a tail that curls over outstretched branches for support in search of swarms of leaf nesting weaver ants. If approached by a predator, the pangolin rolls into a tight, impenetrable ball with its tail and legs covering its head for complete protection.
