PANGOLINS are unique, rare, solitary, nocturnal mammals that survive predominantly on a diet of ants and termites. Currently, eight species have been reported, with four each from the continents of Africa and Asia.
The reclusive species is showing an alarming decline in its populations and sub-populations across Asia and Africa due to relentless poaching that’s a result of high international demand for their scales and for bush meat across China, Hong Kong and South-East Asia.
