“Sea Dragons are arguably the most spectacular and mysterious of all ocean fish. Though close relatives of sea horses, sea dragons lack a prehensile tail, have larger bodies, and leaf-like appendages which enable them to hide among floating seaweed or kelp beds.

“The Pangolin doesn’t have many natural predators – only the fiercest carnivores, such as hyenas and leopards, would dare try hunting them. What protects these tiny mammals is their uniquely adapted natural armor layer. When in danger, they roll up in an impenetrable razor ball and it take quite a lot of force to unroll them. Also, they have special muscles that ensure the cutting function of the scales, severely harming anything that is inserted between the Pangolin’s scales.”
