Camera trap spots critically endangered pangolin in the Philippines

The most illegally trafficked wild mammal in the world has made its appearance on ZSL camera trap images in the Philippines for the first time since the area was proposed as a protected area for the critically endangered species.
ZSL conservationists surveying the leafy forests of El Nido recorded the world's only scaly mammal, so elusive it is rarely spotted on camera, scurrying over logs and foliage in search of a midnight snack of ants and termites.
