Animal Info:

Pangolins are the world’s most illegally trafficked animal – poached for both traditional African medicines, known as muthi, as well as rapidly escalating demand by Asian markets for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Pangolin scales and rhino horn are both made of keratin - the same as human toenails.

South Africa is home to the little-known Temminck’s Ground Pangolin. Sadly more and more of these are being confiscated by SAPS (South African Police Services) and anti-poaching units, having been held illegally in captivity.

When they are seized from poachers, they are severely compromised – very stressed, badly malnourished and dehydrated. The rescued pangolin requires round the clock, 24/7 medical care and support. The pangolin are fed with a supplementary protein feed, via a feeding tube, to try and improve their nutrition.

When the pangolins are well enough and weigh more than 6kgs, they are released back into the wild on a designated secure reserve, ideally near to where they were seized. Each pangolin is fitted with a tracker, so their well-being and movements can be monitored remotely.
