The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
Yes, it's a mammal! Zoo keepers at Thailand's Dusit Zoo nurse a baby Pangolin. Villagers found the baby abandoned on a roadside in the outskirts of Bangkok. Pangolins curl up when frightened, exposing sharp scales for defense. Babies, like this one photograped Tuesday, have much softer scales, which harden as they mature.

Cute in a somewhat oddly pathetic way.
Love the “ears”…
Adorable. My husband’s family found one when he was a kid but they had to release it back to the wild … enormously powerful as adults, apparently.
Thank you to the family who turn him/her to the zoo!
What’s a “pangolin”? It looks like it’s got some scales.. it’d be interesting to see what it looks like as an adult!
