This is a clip from a documentary that actually explains it, and goes in depth in this rescuers attempt to stop their extinction.

[@musiccollector]

I am incensed and livid beyond words on what is happening to these docile, helpless, intelligent, lovable creatures who rid us of insects. The world needs to rise up and put a stop to this.

[@hannahdyson7129]

And to other animals being persecuted, look at what they do to Tigers , Rhinos and Pandas . Not just but Inculding the Pangolin !

[@cnj2328]

WHAT. We've found a way to kill them too? I just discovered wtf a pangolin is! Sick of all this!!! I've discovered many animals we know of from preschool are endangered!

[@cnj2328]

​@@hannahdyson7129 yes! It's sickening.

[@RG_Eph]

Agreed! Well it kind of got back at us…covid

[@FantomPhoenix]

​@@RG_EphThere is evidence to be shown that the Pangolin was in fact, not the intermediary animal for the transmission of Covid-19. It was suggested, yes, but papers have also been published to show otherwise.

[@kezabel7201]

I fell in love with pangolins after this

[@wergonsturm]

When it opened the fridge I lost it. What a cute little rascal.

[@lyubo.951]

Rest in peace Honey Bun. You were too good for this world. :

[@peteczar]

To the WORLD..... let wildlife be. We're better people if we treasure it.

[@GraftedOliveBranch]

Pangolins would have to be the cutest little animals on earth. The way they look, the way they walk and the way that they curl up into a ball to sleep is absolutely adorable. 🥰

[@crimsonbay5036]

Thanks for all the joy you brought to this world, honeybun🤍

[@theshriekinghominin1760]

With the way he sneaks around, you'd instantly know he's up to no good.

It's heartbreaking what is happening to these poor animals. This is such a cruel evil world we live in. You truly have to be evil to torture and kill what amounts to billions of animals around the world. Sad beyond words.........

Quite simply adorable

[@benjaminsmith2100]

The way his long whiskery nose and claws just busted on into the fridge had me rolling. My mans had the munchies and knew exactly where to go.

[@jameswarf6456]

How can somebody eat one of these adorable guys?

[@legomanwhohateskpop1532]

He looks like he’s looking for a nickel he dropped

[@melissawarfield]

Pangolins are an endangered species. The Chinese people use Pangolins scales for medicine. It's incredibly illegal to own Pangolins. Their diets are very tricky.

[@msmsmarissa]

This is a documentary and Honey Bun was born at this woman's pangolin rescue. She is one of very few legally allowed to have them on Earth.

[@fern8018]

Melissa Warfield this woman who was looking after her actually studied saving pangolins from becoming extinct! She was making sure Honeybun was healthy and happy for when she would go back into the wild.

[@vienchan4975]

I don't care how naughty Honey bun is i want more of Honey bun please, adorable little dinosaur ❤ him

[@user-if3qs4zv3v]

Какая прелесть, очень люблю панголинов.

[@mollymoohoo]

These are such extraordinary animals ,like little mini dinosaurs & they deserve to live in the wild where they belong frre from harm but as we know greedy selfish exploiting humans have other ideas! I do hope there is a special reason why this little one is in a human home ie because hes been rescued & not because he has been taken on as a pet!!

[@fiffirata899]

mollymoohoo she was taken in because she was abused, she has been living with maria for some time and will eventually be released! There is a very interesting documentary about them :)

[@iCortex1]

These are basically just tiny Godzillas :3 so freaking cute

What a precious little scaly baby girl❤

[@aastrid3482]

What is wrong with some people these days. I’ve watched the documentary before and I found out more than 100,000 pangolins have just been SCALED. (More pangolins have been scaled over the years sadly, the numbers have varied.) The people that scale them can get so VIOLENT. They step on the tails and just start killing it. Please spread awareness about pangolins. It’s sad and it’s animal cruelty.

[@sirith9157]

Aside from just killing them. There is no scientific evidence for their scale doing shit. They're gantle and inteligent. Why the hell someone want to kill this cuties? They don't harm anyone aside from termites. IF they weren't near extinction, I would have one as a pet. They`re amazing ^^

[@Skillseboy1]

That man was on a mission and you ruined it!😄

[@gailweatherall1215]

so cute - and smart too.

[@sol666]

I can't believe pangolins can open a fridge....now all it needs to do is get a picture I.D. and it can officially become a human.
