Seven pangolins, including two critically endangered yellow pangolins, have been rescued while being smuggled from Ho Chi Minh City to northern Vietnam.

 

Police in central Thanh Hoa Province on Wednesday detected suspicious signs on a truck traveling from HCMC to Thai Nguyen Province and so stopped it for inspection.

 

The police found a styrofoam box on the truck. When the driver failed to tell them what was inside the box, they opened it and found a bag weighing 15kg.
