Mammal of the trip, somewhere in the Sri Lanka night: an Indian Pangolin found by our guide after a lot of work on foot in the dark in the forest. All Pangolin species are threatened by illegal hunting for Chinese quack medicine as well as food - restaurant delicacies, not subsistence - so keeping locations vague is essential. We were so far over the moon with this sighting!
