The Indian Pangolin Range: Eastern Pakistan, western and south India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka Size: 10-80 pounds ( about 5-36 kg)  Diet: mainly termites and ants, which they catch by using their one foot long tongue Fun Facts: Indian Pangolin's are animals that are cover in scales and look a little bit like anteaters. Their scales are so strong and sharp that these Indian Pangolins kill Tigers more often than they get killed by tigers. No known animals have enough strength to pry open a pangolin when It curls up like a ball. Pangolins are related to Anteaters. Like  anteaters Pangolin's have no teeth and have very long and sticky tongue. There are 11 types of Pangolin's that are not yet extinct. Indian Pangolins are endangered like all other types of Pangolins.

 Peacock 5/10/2021 My observations:  1. They not only spread their back feathers when it's raining but sometimes also when it's sunny. 2. Peacocks can fly but not as high and quickly as most other birds 3. They are very aggressive, although they look gentle, so you have to give them their space. 4. Peacock calls are very easy to imitate and 1 out of 3 of my calls were answered by another peacock The true facts: 1.Peacock’s actually use those feather of their’s to attract mates 2.Peacock’s can fly for a very short time, but they still can fly 3.Peacock’s don’t mind people being near them, but if you go too close they scratch you My sightings of this animal:  I saw about 5-11 of them. I observed them for about a couple of hours as they did various things.
