SINGAPORE: Two male Sunda pangolins were found locked in a tussle at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve one afternoon in July, with the smaller of the two having severe injuries that resulted in it having to be put down.

The sighting was an unusual one since pangolins are nocturnal and usually seen alone, except when they are in a mother-offspring pair or during courtship. Pangolins are critically endangered in Singapore.
