“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.”
