Das '''Schuppentier''', auch '''Pangolin''' genannt, hat eine Körperbedeckung aus großen, überlappenden Hornschuppen. Schuppentiere kommen in Asien, Südostasien und Afrika vor. Die Art ist geschützt und der Handel mit Produkten daraus verboten. Hauptgrund für die rückläufigen Stückzahlen ist die Jagd. Dabei geht es den Jägern um das Fleisch, nicht um das Leder.
