Newborn Baby Pangolin

Pangolins were classified with various other orders, for example Xenarthra, which includes the ordinary anteaters, sloths, and the similar-looking armadillos. But newer genetic evidence indicates that their closest living relatives are the Carnivora, with which they form the clade Ferae. Some paleontologists have classified the pangolins in the order Cimolesta, together with several extinct groups.
Pangolins are very cute mammals that live in tropical regions of Asia and Africa. Pangolins don't have teeth but they have tongues with sticky, ant-catching saliva. The existence of pangolins is in danger. In China and some other Asian countries people use them for food.
