We are very grateful to have a dedicated team of minders who walk the pangolins into the forest several times a day. Noël is clearly at ease and ready to forage!. #pangolin #pangolins #conservation #cameroon.

- When did it become a crime - . Crimes against the environment is a new concept in contemporary human history, taking front stage only in the last 50 years or so. Illegal wildlife crime is currently considered the fourth largest and most lucrative criminal industry.

- Mudding -. Some days you’ve just got to roll with it!. Little known pangolin fact- they love mud and dung rolling. Not being able to clean themselves, this practice gives them a good microbiotic wash and a parasite cleanse. #pangolin #throwbackthursday

Thank you @LimbeWildlife for your dedication and help with Miyaka 🙏 He is recovering!.
Meet Miyaka, the endangered white-bellied pangolin who came to the LWC at the start of this month. He was rescued from the illegal bushmeat trade. We are pleased to announce he has been transferred to @THFZim to continue his rehabilitation. 💚

Maza The Marsh Mongoose Learns to Fish! 🐟. Of all the little critters we look after, Maza is turning out to be most entertaining with his antics as he learns. Also known as a water mongoose, Maza was brought to us as an orphaned baby. Video: @THFZim .#babyanimal #mongoose

On #WorldAnimalDay theme of 'shared planet', we're sharing from Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary in Liberia who were recently featured on @CNN's 'Call to Earth' series for their work with #pangolin. @THFZim is proud to capacitate them.

As many mothers of mammals know, night feeds can be simultaneously peaceful and equally exhausting. This recent rescue is adjusting to being bottle fed. Never ideal but we’re grateful for the option when a mother’s milk is unavailable. 🎥@ THFZim. #pangolin #babymammal

- Refresher 💧 -. Ever seen a pangolin drink?. Now you have. The froth that builds up in the water when a pangolin drinks is from the sticky mucus that covers their tongues and helps them slick up ants when they’re eating.🐜 🐜 🐜. Now you know. #pangolin .Vid: E Connelly c.THF

And how very precious they are. #pangolin.
Tracking one of these shy, elusive creatures takes immense patience and a philosophical approach to game viewing. Count yourself lucky if you get to spend a few precious moments with a #pangolin. #africanwildlife #travelmore #sustainabletravel #responsibletravel #endangered

Thanks for the share of Kila's story @PangolinCrisis , she is doing well. #pangolin #wildliferescue.
Kila, which means ‘gift’ in Lamso, a dialect of North West Cameroon, is @THFZim Cameroon's most recent rescue. She had an injury to her foot which required deep treatment and the removal of 3 of her 4 claws. It may be challenging at first but Kila will climb trees again soon. 💚

Poachers and predators aren't a pangolin's only threats - this beautiful big boy was brought to us by @Zimparks after being hit by a car. A kind passerby alerted Parks and this 13.5kg boy arrived and sadly succumbed to his injuries not long after. Rest in peace, gentle one.
