What are the pangolin's feeding habits?

Pangolins compose the Pholidote group. Currently, there exist eight species of these placentary mammals.

One of their most notorious characteristics is that their whole body is covered by squama.

These animals feed especially on ants and termites.

They use their well-developed smell to find nests, and since they do not have teeth, they use their long, thin, and sticky tongue to catch their prey and take them out of their nests.

Usually, they are animals with nocturnal habits, but some species are also active during the day.

The correct option is D) False, in the wild, their most common prey items are from the infraorder Isoptera.​
