There are a total of eight species of pangolin on our planet. Pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters, are unique creatures that are covered in hard, plate-like scales. They are insectivorous (feeding on insects) and are mainly nocturnal.
Balloon framing, framework of a wooden building in which the elements consist of small members nailed together. In balloon framing, the studs (vertical members) extend the full height of the building (usually two stories) from foundation plate to rafter plate, as contrasted with platform framing, in which each floor is framed separately.
Balloon framing deals with load distribution on the structure's frame. The weight is equally distributed vertically over 2-inch-by-4-inch studs or 2-inch-by-6-inch studs. Each stud should be centered and in place every 16 inches though builders think anywhere from 12 inches to 24 inches is acceptable.
