Sabah villagers rescue two baby pangolins


KOTA KINABALU: Villagers living on the fringes of forests in Sabah came to the aid of two injured pangolin pups, known as pangopups, that had wandered near their homes earlier this month.

Tragically, one of the pangopups succumbed, believed to have died from stress, while the other is currently receiving care from the Sabah Wildlife Department's Wildlife Rescue Unit (WRU).

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
