Yes Rufie, please post your Pangolin pictures! We were also in shock when we saw one earlier this month, and although our pictures are not that great, it is proof enough of what we saw! :D

You can see our pictures in the link below, many kilometres from where you saw yours! (I think it is on page 10.) :clap: :clap:

Not fair..... :evil:

I have been looking for one for years (like in 12 years) we have found tracks but never seen one in the wild.
