For Watercolor by an unknown artist of 2 pangolins (probably the Sunda Pangolin, Manis javanica, now a critically species).

"This painting of a pangolin can be found in the 1st volume of the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings. The collection consists of 477 watercolours of flora & fauna that had been painted for Farquhar when he was the Resident of Malacca between 1803 and 1818"

In honor of we're bringing awareness to the most trafficked mammal on the planet.

Pangolins are covered in protective scales made of keratin, like our fingernails. Because their scales are highly sought after, pangolins are a target of illegal trade.

Today is . My first encounter with these gorgeous creatures was in 2017; my husband and I were running in local reserve when a downpour sent people scurrying to the nearest shelter. We were already drenched so we decided to push on. Soon after we encountered this female pangolin and her offspring on the trail seeking higher ground. What a special moment!

I'm really, really disappointed at the lack of pangolins in my feed, given that today is World Pangolin Day.

Please share your pangolins!
