Absolutely awesome sighting! So special

A recent visitor to Gonarezhou National Park​ had the incredible privilege of seeing this baby pangolin with it’s mother whilst she was out foraging for ants in the late afternoon. Pangolins are known to carry their young on their backs like this from the time that the babies are about one month old. But to witness this in the wild is very unusual and special.

Pangolin are endangered, and currently have the dubious distinction of being the world’s most trafficked mammal. The Gonarezhou Conservation Trust has formed a partnership with the Tikki Hywood Foundation​ to rewild pangolins confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade, whilst also gathering vital information about this species that can help us safeguard their future.

Read more about this project on the Trust’s website.

Thanks Elsa Bussiere, for sharing this very special sighting with us.
