Seeing a pangolin in the wild is a super rare privilege, and some might say the holy grail for all nature and wildlife enthusiasts spending time in the wild. It’s important that we behave appropriately when we do see a pangolin, as all too often, people think it’s ok to approach a pangolin in the wild, even if it’s curled up and not moving. This, however, is incredibly stressful for the pangolin and is not advisable.
If you would like to learn more about pangolins and what to do if you see one in the wild, then we invite you to become a Pangolin Guardian.
