Pangolins are found in tropical Africa and Asia. Their meat in considered a delicacy in China and it is also believed (falsely) that their scales have some medicinal value.

It was a remarkable encounter. In a bit of an aside, the week before I arrived in Namibia, Roxy had given birth. I was one of the first people to be able to get a photo of a baby pangolin nursing from its mother. Roxy has since returned to the wild, but hopefully, posts like this can help people realize how interesting, beautiful and sensitive animals are, and how it is worth protecting them and their habitats.
