Chinese Pangolin–Macao 1995

Macao Post has issued this cover alongside with the WWF stamps which are composed of 4 postage stamps depicted Chinese Pangolin or Manis pentadactyla in their habitat . This official FDC depicted a Chinese Pangolin climbed on the branch of tree and special post mark and dated on April 10, 1995. 

The Chinese pangolin is a rather secretive animal,  nocturnal creatures and  extremely shy. They move very slowly and are known for their non-aggressive behaviour. Their hard scales work as a protection cover from predators and when they feel endangered, they curl themselves in a ball. Chinese pangolins are mainly terrestrial animals .
