Sanity Break: The Pangolin

No,it’s not an animated pine cone. It’s an animal some of you have never heard of–the pangolin.

Hi, Mr. Nature here, with a look away from the news–basta, basta! as they say in Italy–and toward some more of God’s cool stuff. Pangolins live in Asia and Africa, eat insects, and are protected by an armor of keratin scales. Keratin is the stuff your hair and fingernails are made of. The pangolin is the only animal in the world that has such scales.

The pangolin in this video is a pet enjoying a nice mud bath. In the background you can hear the owner muttering about what a job it’s going to be to clean him. Ah, well, it’s one of the things we do for our pets. Because we love them, and then love us, and the Lord Our God loves both them and us.

  1. Thanks, Lee. I’ve heard of pangolins but have never seen one. What a treat! Since he decided to take a relaxing mud bath, his human is apparently concerned about facing reality a little later on 🙂

  2. What a neat little critter!

    ” . . . it’s one of the things we do for our pets. Because we love them, and then love us, and the Lord Our God loves both them and us.”

    Very true. It brings to mind Proverb 12:10
    “A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal,
    But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.”

    The “compassion” offered by the far Left is anything but loving.

  3. A great website to check out is Creation Moments. They have been educating the Body of Christ on the marvels of God’s creation for 50 years. I get a daily post delivered to my email, and they are always excellent and devotional.
