fun fact they are also one the most heavily trafficked wild animal, causing them to be endangered, like mos the species.

Pangolins are lovely. Shame some dumbasses are murdering them for traditional medicine and also eating? Idk who the fuck looks at these cuties and thinks, "I think that tastes good", but apparently some people do.

tbf I think cows, chickens, pigs, and fish are cute too

And that pervert who looked at one and though 'I should hit that and start a global pandemic'

I looks like it'd like to tell something personal but it is feeling shy. Poor thing.

[–] ryokimball@infosec.pub 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would totally have one as a pet but they do not do well in captivity.

Humans. Cats have done a great job there.
