Lance had tracked the lion pride for hours....... before they stopped to rest by a waterhole.....

but their attention was not on drinking.......

The lions in South Africas Tswalu Kalahari Game reserve.......

had discovered a Temminck’s ground pangolin.....

A small, innocent, nocturnal, ant-eating mammal..........

thankfully.....this small mammal is armour-plated!!!

with scales made of fused hair..... and curls up into an impregnable fortress ball when threatened...

Thank god for that fused hair.....

so......you could say......his hair ....saved this pangolins life :-)

LOL

enjoy!

God gives his creation a power to survive. Some of them find it in their living some not. in this case, he finds it and survive.

I had an obsession with armadillos as a child.....i was a weird child.
