rooster59 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Video: Rare, endangered mammal safely rehabilitated in Phuket Sahar Aftab Paliwala PHUKET: A night guard working in Rawai discovered a rare and endangered mammal early yesterday morning, and quickly sprang into action to protect the creature from harm. Guard Sanya Ritto noticed a creature in the undergrowth during one of his security rounds at the Rawai Villas development. Recognizing it as a Sunda pangolin, he approached it. However, following its natural instincts against predators, the pangolin wrapped itself into a tight ball. Mr Sanya grabbed it by its tail and delivered it to the estate, informing the estate manager, Sorapan Ruffier, of his discovery. Working quickly to make the creature as comfortable as possible, another guard, named Rungroj Jaengmeg, built a temporary enclosure for it and dug up ant hills to feed it. “Such was his concern for the animal’s well-being that he didn’t realize he was being bitten all over his arms at the time,” Rawai Villas estate developer Bob Windsor told the Phuket Gazette.

While working and residing in a construction site camp in Laos I tried to explain to the Laos cooks that these are protected. .Yet they insisted on serving them BBQ'd in meals to the upper management of the company. They claimed the taste was exquisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
