Where do pangolins live in the wild?
Quick Answer
Pangolins live in Africa and Asia, depending on the species. They inhabit forests, savannas, and sometimes grasslands across a wide tropical and subtropical range.
The Full Story
Pangolins are found naturally in two major regions: Africa and Asia. African species occur in central, eastern, and southern parts of the continent, while Asian species are found in South and Southeast Asia. Their habitats include forests, savannas, and grasslands, and some species are partly arboreal while others spend more time on the ground. Pangolins are the only mammals covered in overlapping keratin scales. All eight living species are threatened to varying degrees, mainly by hunting and trafficking.
