A few weeks ago we had another man come around trying to sell one, though he didn't have it with him, so I did not see it. Now I know what it is I was able to tell him it is illegal and that he should return it to the jungle. I doubt very much that he would have but at least he now knows.

Congratulations Gemma, your spotting has been chosen to demonstrate the challenges facing this fascinating & endangered animal on World Pangolin day.

Sunda pangolins have become the most frequently seized mammal in Asia's illegal wildlife trade, as smugglers sell the creatures to meet culinary and medicinal demand. These gentle insectivores are now on the endangered species list.

Well I hope I do not see it again under the same circumstances now that I know what it is and that it is endangered. :(
