We all know about elephants and rhino poaching but the pangolins are under attack. The scales and meat are being sought by Chinese and Vietmanese. To learn more go to the npr's "All Things Considered" Aug 18,2015 show. Most of us have not seen them because the are nocturnal and shy. Hopefully we may get to see one on "Giraffe'

This is just crazy honestly. I have yet to see a Pangolin in the wild. Jim and Pam have. I am going to visit a safari camp in the Kalahari Desert that is supposed to have good pangolin prior to the 2016 Giraffe safari.

Probably more species being poached for "medicine" than any of us would believe.

It is not medicine, it is a total scam for some to profit of the killing of endangered wildlife.
