Move Over Rhinocerus

I was at the mall today with my magnificent girlfriend and was looking at animal books in Walden Books (they always have great sales/deals every time I go there). I was looking through an encyclopedic volume of the animal kingdom and came upon an animal I'd never heard of before: the pangolin. It quickly became my favorite animal, trumping the mighty rhino. If you know me, it's very hard for me to select a "favorite" anything, especially an animal! There's so much beauty and excellence in God's creation; everything is so unique, creative, and diverse. Every little lizard is a work of art by God. Every tree, every twig, every leaf. Every hip, every femur, every ankle. Every bird, every amphibian, every amoeba. It's mind blowing, really. The amount of wonder that God poured into each individual creation... wow.


So here is a picture of a pangolin. It's like a mixture of an armadillo, a snake, an anteater, and an assistant (watch the video below and you'll know what I mean). Wow, God! It walks on two legs and clasps its hands together as it walks, haha; that's probably my favorite part. And for its size it has the longest tongue of any mammal. It's definitely one of the most distinctive creations on planet earth. Here's the video:



I am amazed at you, God. You definitely looked at the pangolin and said, "It is good."
