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.

Pangolins are born with their scales. The scales are however very soft at birth.

Location: Heart, mind and soul on an early morning drive close to Satara, unfortunately the body is in CPT!
Are they on average seen more in Kgalagadi than Kruger? The general habitat in Kgalagadi would make me think that they are easier to spot, but not sure the food source is adequate, any ideas??
