After driving into the mountains to look for snakes, but finding the weather horrible--13 C and a howling wind--I headed back down to try a lower road. The conditions were little better, but i saw a small-toothed ferret badger (Melogale moschata) but no snakes. After wandering down a farm trail for a last search before giving up, I heard a noise in the trees from the other side of the bend ahead and expected boar as I approached quietly. As I peered into the bushes, suddenly a pangolin appeared and began digging noisily, tearing into the tree roots. After a minute or so, it ambled away only to then emerge from the brush and cross the path in front of my feet, clambering up the bank so close that I stroked its tail a couple of times, not that it seemed to notice.

I was setting up for a macro of this flower. Just before I snapped the shutter, a bee landed and started foraging. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
