Food / Reproduction

Pangolins live on their own, only interacting with other pangolins during mating.  There is no specific mating season, but most animals typically mate once a year during the summer and fall months.  To attract a mate, males will mark their location with urine or feces, letting the females use their strong sense of smell to locate them.  If multiple males are in the same area as a female, they can fight over her, using their strong tails as clubs. Fertilization occurs within the female, after about 140 days the female gives birth to a single baby.
