Sunda Pangolin - Manis javanica

Malaysia

 

Critically Endangered

 

Seeing a Pangolin in the wild has to be the absolute highlight of my trip to Borneo. Thankfully I was able to enjoy this incredibly rare moment with my good mate and fellow photographer, Matt Clancy. We could not believe out luck, finding such a rare animal on our own. Given this species is incredibly sort after in the illegal trade of wildlife, I have not given a location except for that it was seen in Malaysia. I hope this species is able to rebound from the absolute onslaught it has undergone due to its horrific demands in Chinese medicine.
