21st february is World Pangolin Day. Every year an estimated 100,000 pangolins are poached. To raise awareness about this pangolin there is a unique challenge going on. One can do 21 crunches and share the video. Use the hash tag #pumpit4pangolin and #WorldPangolinDay if you would want to do so. I still have viral, so not able to do it myself. :)
I guess these crunches are to reflect the ability of pangolins to roll over into a ball when faced with adversity. It remains in that position till it is safe. I had shot a tiger trying to chew and remove the pangolin from its tight roll, but the tiger couldn't succeed. It was in the pre-digital days and don't have scans of it. If you don't have images, you can also share your sketches of pangolins if you like.
