WATCH: Pangolin Reintroduction Project revives the endangered species

A Pangolin picked up by chance by Mpumalanga veterinary surgeon, Dr. Helena Rampf on a district road near Hoedspruit, bordering The Kruger National Park. Abandoned, confused, dehydrated and showing signs of concussion from possibly being run over or hit by a car judging by the black rubber marks, this week-old male pangolin weighed only 1.7kg. It's possible he fell out of a poacher's car. After many months of care, he was transferred to the conservation team at The &BEYOND Phinda Private Game Reserve.
