Pangolin

                                        Pangolins

                I'm probably writing about this animal because my grandma had an encounter with this one. She didn't hunt it. It came to her 😮! My grandma didn't know what it was, so she called me and I told her it was a pangolin.

                A pangolin is an endangered animal like the Orangutan, which is in another post. A pangolin may get extinct. A pangolin is hunted for it's hard protective keratin. Oh, I forgot to mention, pangolins have a protective outer layer of keratin. So it is extremely rare to have an encounter with one. 

               They usually live in Australia, Africa, India, and Indonesia. There are less than 1,000 pangolins in the wild. My grandma said the pangolin that came, never came again. Oh, by the way a snake, lizard, monkey, pangolin, gecko, and more came in my grandma's yard. Pangolins eat ants, termites and larvae, and some leaves and fruits.


                                            Fun Facts:
Scientific Name: Manis

I don't know so much about pangolins, so I'll leave some space to fill in later




    Panglins are great animals no matter what they do. So keep learning facts about more animals.

Octopus

Octopuses are cool sea animals that are located all over the Pacific Ocean. Octopuses are soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusks of the order Octopoda. There are 300 types of Octopuses, including the Dumbo Octopus, the Giant Pacific Octopus, Flapjack Octopus, and many more.  Octopuses are usually famous for their 8 tentacles. People who are scared of Octopuses have Chapodiphobia. 1/30 people are scared of Octopuses, so you’re not the only one to be terrified of them. I have never actually developed the phobia of Octopuses, but it’s okay to be scared of them. Did you know that Octopuses have 3 hearts, and blue blood? Two of the hearts pump blood through the gills; and the third pumps blood through the whole body. Being boneless is pretty astounding. Since Octopuses don’t have bones, they can fit through almost any tight space. Octopuses also squirt ink at other predators to defend. Then there will be a black cloud ink and “Wham” the Octopus is gone. Octopuses are so intelligent that sci...

Did you know that some types of Orcas eat sharks, but most scare them? Though many people think the great white shark is the ruler of the oceans, but orcas actually scare them. Only two species of orcas are known to eat sharks. If you've been to an aquarium,  you've probably seen one.                 Orcas are also called killer whales most of the time, because they hunt most of the species in the oceans. It is not known th...
