#pangolin

One of the biggest threats to pangolins globally is habitat loss, but here in Singapore, road accidents are a larger immediate threat. We live in an urban city but we have a lot of wildlife all around us as well, so some encounters are inevitable. I work as a veterinarian at Mandai Wildlife Group, which manages the Singapore Zoo. In this image, taken in May, I'm examining Berani, a big male Sunda pangolin ( Manis javanica), at our facilities in the zoo.
