Big 5s

“My favourite animals to see in wildlife photography are pangolins, whether rolled up, climbing trees, eating ants and termites, or covered in mud. My favourite pangolin images of all are of a mother pangolin curled protectively around her baby.

We are lucky to share the planet with eight species of these quirky, scale-covered mammals. Pangolins are important to their ecosystems, each eating millions of insects a year. Their only defence from predators is to roll up into a ball under the protection of their tough, keratin-based scales. This can stop a lion, but not a poacher.

It’s really important that more people know about these amazing animals, so that we can hopefully work towards ending the poaching and trafficking that are threatening pangolins with extinction.”
