The Mojo Indian Pangolin figure captures the Indian pangolin's most distinctive feature: the overlapping protective scales that cover most of its body. These scales are carefully sculpted to recreate their tough keratin texture, giving the figure a highly realistic appearance. The pangolin is posed in a natural standing position, suggesting it is searching for food.
The Mojo Indian Pangolin figure measures: 4.8" L x 1" W x 1.4" H
The figure accurately portrays the Indian pangolin's elongated snout, small eyes, and powerful forelimbs equipped with long, curved claws. These features reflect the animal's specialized adaptations for digging into ant and termite nests.
The realistic scale texture, natural posture, and carefully applied hand-painted finish make this figure an excellent addition to wildlife collections, educational displays, or endangered species exhibits.
The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) is a highly specialized mammal native to the Indian subcontinent, where it inhabits forests, grasslands, and scrublands across India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and parts of Pakistan. It is best known for the large keratin scales that protect its body from predators. When threatened, the pangolin curls into a tight ball, using its scales as armor.
Indian pangolins feed primarily on ants and termites. Their long, sticky tongues can extend up to 16 inches, allowing them to reach deep into insect nests. Powerful forelimbs with large claws enable them to break open termite mounds and dig burrows, while their keen sense of smell helps them locate prey.
