The Mojo Indian Pangolin figure captures the Indian Pangolin’s most distinctive feature: its overlapping, protective scales that cover most of its body. These scales are sculpted to reflect their tough, keratinous texture, giving the figure a highly realistic appearance. The pangolin is depicted in a characteristic standing posture, possibly in a foraging stance.
The figure also pays attention to the animal's elongated snout and small, beady eyes, which are key identifying features of the pangolin. The limbs show the strong, clawed forelimbs that the pangolin uses to dig into ant and termite mounds.
The Mojo Indian Pangolin figure measures approximately 4.8 L x 1.4 H x 1 W inches.
The Indian Pangolin is a fascinating and highly specialized mammal known for its unique body armor made up of large, keratinous scales. These scales provide protection against predators, and when threatened, the pangolin can curl into a tight ball, with its scales acting as an effective shield. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this species can be found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and scrublands, extending across India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and parts of Pakistan.
The Indian Pangolin has a distinct elongated snout and a long, sticky tongue that can extend up to 40 cm (16 inches). This adaptation is perfect for its insectivorous diet, allowing it to reach deep into ant and termite mounds. Pangolins have a highly developed sense of smell, which helps them locate their prey. Their powerful forelimbs, equipped with strong, curved claws, are designed for digging into the hard soil or breaking open termite mounds.
