Very, very pleased to say that my wife Trish and I were lucky enough to see one of these delightful mammals on our recent visit to KNP. We saw it on the H5 at about 7am or so, after taking a wrong turning, ( we thought we were still on the S114)
Regretably, no photo, but the memory will live with us both for ever

Mike and Trish Goss

A Pangolin does not have any teeth, and mainly uses its long worm-like tongue to eat.
