impregnable ball

the pangolin.....

wildlife photographer of the year finalist

Lance had tracked the lion pride for hours....... before they stopped to rest by a waterhole.....

but their attention was not on drinking.......

The lions in South Africas Tswalu Kalahari Game reserve.......

had discovered a Temminck’s ground pangolin.....

A small, innocent, nocturnal, ant-eating mammal..........

thankfully.....this small mammal is armour-plated!!!

with scales made of fused hair..... and curls up into an impregnable fortress ball when threatened...

Thank god for that fused hair.....

so......you could say......his hair ....saved this pangolins life :-)

LOL

enjoy!
