While they may look similar to lizards with their scaly bodies and long, narrow snouts, they are actually more closely related to cats and dogs.
Here's why pangolins are not lizards:
* They give birth to live young, unlike lizards who lay eggs.
* They have hair beneath their scales, which is a characteristic of mammals.
* They possess mammary glands to feed their young, another key feature of mammals.
So, while they might be unusual, pangolins are fascinating mammals, not lizards.
