鳞甲目(Pholidota)只有1科1属,即穿山甲科(Manidae)穿山甲属(Manis)。屬於該目的动物通稱鯪鯉,俗称穿山甲。
2014年7月,由倫敦動物學會主持的IUCN紅色名錄物種存續委員會穿山甲專門小組,發出警告指穿山甲是目前全世界最常被走私買賣的哺乳類動物。中華穿山甲及馬來穿山甲均在 IUCN 紅色名錄中的保護級別提升至「極危」,全部 8 個物種均面臨絕種威脅。非法走私的活動是前所未有的猖獗。隨著亞洲四種穿山甲物種數量暴跌,走私貿易商家已轉移目標至非洲,以滿足市場上的龐大需求。[3][4][5]
There are almost forty species of dolphin in 17 genera. They vary in size from 1.2 m (4 ft) and 40 kg (90 lb) (Maui's dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and 10 tonnes (9.8 long tons; 11 short tons) (the killer whale or orca). They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves and are carnivores, eating mostly fish and squid. Thefamily Delphinidae, the largest in the order Cetacea, evolved relatively recently, about ten million years ago during the Miocene.
