I've liked Pangolins since I first saw one stuffed in the Fields Museum. I found out later in a zoo they're a lot more fun when they're alive.
Pangolins are inoffensive anteaters that live in Africa and Asia. They have a sort of plate armor on their backs and tails. They have no teeth. They protect themselves by rolling into a ball. They're about as dangerous as an armadillo.
Well, we can now add Pangolins to the vast list of meat that Chinese men believe will get them a better stiffee. (See here.)
We can add to this questionable category seahorses, tigers, rhinoceros horn, black bear bile, owls and musk deer.
I mean, come on, guys. There's more to life than sex. I mean, Jeez! Pangolins! Look, bulls have much bigger sticks and they're domesticated. Dry up, powder and eat some of that! Please!
With China being the most populous country in the world, you'd think they have nothing left to prove.
