Introducing to the world, Pango-Pup! This baby pangolin was rescued and is being nursed back to health by the kind staff at the Lilongwe Wildlife Trust. Pangolins are the only mammal covered in scales, and their unique features have unfortunately made them a prime target for poachers. In fact, they're the world's most trafficked animal, accounting for as much as 20% of the illegal wildlife trade. In countries like China and Vietnam, they are in high demand, as their meat is considered a delicacy and their scales are used in traditional medicine – despite there being no scientific evidence of them providing any medicinal value. Pangolins are highly prone to stress, which makes caring for them in captivity a notable challenge. But with some patience, some good grub and diligent oversight, Pango-Pup and others like him will be ready to go back to the wild.
