Pangolin Rescued From Roadside

Our heartfelt thanks to Brice Li, for spotting a stranded pangolin between busy roads, alerting us and waiting for us to arrive. #SundaPangolin is a nocturnal #CriticallyEndangered mammal, native to #Singapore. Poached widely in other range countries for their scales in use for traditional medicine, the pangolins in Singapore may face threats of becoming a roadkill, due to habitat fragmentation.

This pangolin was lucky, but please drive safe and keep a look out for animals crossing while driving.
