【穿穿日，為牠穿上愛的鎧甲❤】
今天可是世界穿山甲日唷～
小編來為大家科普一下我們的里山好鄰居「鯪鯉」aka穿穿吧！
除了吻部、臉到喉部、四肢內側、尾末梢內側和可愛的小肚肚外，穿山甲從頭到尾披覆著鱗甲，每隻每年可以吃掉約七百萬隻螞蟻和白蟻，堪稱超強蟻剋星！🐜 全世界有八種穿山甲，四種在亞洲，四種在非洲，根據IUCN紅皮書，三種極危、三種瀕危、兩種易危，全都是保育類😭 其中臺灣的特有亞種「臺灣穿山甲」正是被列為「極危」的物種，因為棲地破壞以及有人迷信穿穿的鱗甲具通乳等神奇藥效，讓牠們瀕臨絕種😡😡😡
告訴你：假的！穿穿鱗甲的成分就是角質，跟人類指甲一摸摸一樣樣💅 再有人說穿山甲很補，叫他去吃指甲啦！！😤

It's World Pangolin Day!
Pangolins are covered with scales from top to toe, except for their face, throat, belly, tail tip and inner part of four limbs. One pangolin consumes roughly seven million ants and termites per year. The animal is a super anteater! 🐜🐜🐜
There are eight species of pangolins around the world, four in Asia and the other four in Africa. On the red list of IUCN, three of the eight species are listed as critically endangered, with the other three endangered and two vulnerable. The main causes are poaching and deforestation. In China and Vietnam, many people still believe that pangolins’ scales are effective medicine and thus consume the animal to near extinction.
Of course the belief is nonsense. Pangolins’ scales are composed of keratin, just as human nails. If you find someone boasting about what magical effects of pangolin scales, tell them to nibble their own nails!
From the recent coronavirus outbreak, we can see that wildlife is the reservoir host of many unknown viruses. Eating wild animals might cost your life!
🌱How to help pangolins?
You can consume environmental friendly farm produce, report illegal traps, report poaching and trafficking, slow down when driving in rural areas, never abandon your pets, never let your dogs off leashes, never feed stray dogs, and thus keep Taiwan a safe home for pangolins and all the other wildlife.
Let's be the force 💪
