English term or phrase: Let's roll
More deliciously complicated to translate puns.

The title of another article is "Let's roll". It deals with the creation of special squads in Asian countries to help save endangered pangolin populations.

Any ideas? TIA.

Spanish translation:Un animal muy enrollado
Explanation:
Es un juego de palabras con la tendencia de los pangolines a enrollarse cuando se sienten amenazados, un poco como los erizos y armadillos.
