Myths vs. Facts🥐

Myth: Pangolins shed their scales like snakes, leaving a trail of armour behind.
Fact: Nope, no shedding party here! Their scales grow with them, kind of like our hair, getting tougher and thicker as they age. It’s that built-in shield that helps them survive the wild.

Did you know❓

Did you know that pangolins can sleep up to 16 hours a day? 🥐 While these amazing creatures are nocturnal, spending most of their night foraging for ants and termites, they love to rest during the day.

To recharge, pangolins find burrows or hidden spots in thick vegetation where they feel safe and secure. This means they are active during the night, using their sharp senses to hunt, but taking their beauty sleep when the sun is up!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a cozy burrow to curl up in for some extra 💤?

Looking back on Wilma’s incredible journey always brings a smile, this pangolin’s story is one for the books, and now it’s been beautifully captured in an oil-on-canvas painting by the talented Storm Barkas (Storm Barkas Art). Titled Sun Soaked, it’s based on Amy's absolute favourite photo of Wilma, snapped by LOTTY H. Elopements while she was grooming herself in the sunshine, and it’s now available at Warren Cary Wildlife Gallery.

Wilma came into our lives in April 2021, rescued from the illegal wildlife trade at just 3.5kg. She was young and fragile, but thankfully hadn’t been in captivity long, giving her a solid shot at recovery and that’s where Wilma started her comeback. Over six months, she blew us away, gaining weight steadily, hitting 5.5kg by October 2021. For a pangolin, every gram counts and normally, we wait for young pangolins to reach 6kg before release, but Wilma was doing so well we kicked off her soft release a bit early.

In a secure wildlife area, she began her journey back to the wild, and she took to it like a pro. From day one, she was foraging and feeding well, a huge relief since pangolins can crash fast if they don’t settle in. By January 2022, after two months of ‘walking’ with our team to carve out her territory, she was ready to fly solo. And fly she did, by March, she’d gained over 2.5kg (hitting around 8kg) and even had a few visits from Riaan, a rehabbed male released nearby. Two rescued pangolins thriving together? That’s the dream! By August 2022, Wilma was a hefty 11kg, and in February 2023, her tracking tags came off, making her a truly wild pangolin again.

Reflecting on Wilma’s transformation, from a tiny 3.5kg rescue to a strong, free 11kg beauty, feels like a celebration of what’s possible when we work together. Storm’s painting, inspired by that moment of Wilma grooming herself in the sun, captures her spirit perfectly, and we are so excited to share it with you all.

Pangolin rescue and rehabilitation is a team effort. We extend heartfelt thanks to Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre Provet Animal Hospital Limpopo Pangolin Collective and our amazing donors for making Wilma’s recovery possible.

🐜Trivia Answer Time! 🥐

The correct answer is: Pangopup!

Baby pangolins, or "pangopups," are born with soft scales that harden over time, just like their parents. These adorable little ones are completely dependent on their mothers for care, feeding, and protection in their early days. Pangopups cling to their mother’s tail as she forages for food, learning the ropes of survival in the wild.

Fun fact: Pangopups are born one at a time, twins are extremely rare! They’ll stay with mom for several months before becoming more independent.

Protecting these vulnerable young pangopups means protecting their mothers, too! 🧡

BACK IN ACTION: A Vehicle That Saves Wildlife!

Not long ago, the SAPS Endangered Species Unit faced a major crisis, their only vehicle, used for assisting the Limpopo Pangolin Collective in recovering pangolins from the illegal wildlife trade and responding to ALL endangered species operations, suffered severe front-wheel damage. With no backup, every moment off the road put wildlife at risk.

But thanks to our donors, we were able to step in and fund the full repair, getting this essential vehicle back where it belongs: on the front lines of conservation. This isn’t just about fixing a vehicle, it’s about ensuring that rescues don’t get delayed, that every animal in need is reached, and that conservation teams have the tools to protect our most vulnerable species.

To everyone who supports our work, this is what your generosity makes possible. Thank you for being part of real, tangible change for endangered wildlife!

🐜Myth vs. Fact: The Truth About Pangolin Scales 🥐

✖️Myth: Pangolin scales have powerful medicinal properties and can treat illnesses.
✔Fact: Pangolin scales are made of keratin, the same material as human fingernails and hair. There is zero scientific evidence that they have any medicinal benefits.

Yet, despite this fact, pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world. Their scales are illegally poached and sold in traditional medicine markets, ground into powders, boiled into tonics, and falsely marketed as cures for ailments ranging from arthritis to cancer. In reality, consuming pangolin scales is no different from chewing on your own nails.

The Real Cost? This widespread myth is driving pangolins to extinction. Populations are plummeting as poachers target them to meet demand, particularly in Asian black markets. In Africa, pangolins are also killed for bushmeat and local belief-based uses.

The Truth Matters: Spreading awareness and ending the demand for pangolin scales is one of the most critical steps in saving them. Conservation efforts, law enforcement, and public education can help turn the tide before it’s too late.

You can be part of the change. Support pangolin conservation, share the truth, and help debunk the myths that put them at risk.

Pangolins are master diggers! With their long, curved claws, these incredible creatures can dig through dirt as hard as cement in search of ants 🐜 Their strong digging abilities are a vital part of their survival, allowing them to access their food sources deep underground.

**ALL PANGOLINS ARE HOUSED AND TREATED OFF-SITE AT UNDISCLOSED SECURE LOCATIONS** Olive's journey has been nothing short of miraculous. Confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade in late July 2023, she was found in unimaginable condition — covered in oil, emaciated, dehydrated, and blind from a severe eye infection. She also suffered horrific burns, likely sustained during her harrowing ordeal of being transported in a car engine. But today, we are overjoyed to share a glimpse of her incredible recovery. In this video, Olive can be seen thriving — happy, healthy, and wonderfully plump back in the wild where she belongs. Thanks to your unwavering support and our dedicated team, Olive has overcome her traumatic past with resilience and strength. Her sight has returned, her wounds have healed, and she has reclaimed the freedom she so rightly deserves. Witnessing her explore her natural habitat again is a poignant reminder of why we do what we do. Every pangolin deserves a second chance. Our mission to protect pangolins depends on your support.

***ALL PANGOLINS ARE HOUSED AND TREATED OFF-SITE AT UNDISCLOSED SECURE LOCATIONS FOR THEIR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR TEAMS*** We're delighted to share the latest news on Aleah, our rescued pangolin who continues to flourish in the wild. Despite the harsh winter months, Aleah has been steadily gaining weight and is now only a few grams away from a whopping 10kg! Aleah was admitted to our care after being recovered in a successful sting operation. She arrived at Provet Animal Hospital extremely emaciated and dehydrated. Poached for her scales and found dehydrated and malnourished, Aleah's resilient spirit shone through. Aleah quickly responded to intensive veterinary care and after five months of dedicated care, she began her release in October with a weight of 5.83kg. In just three and a half months, she proudly reached 9.15kg! A little over a month ago, we shared that Aleah had reached an impressive 9.58kg. Today, we're excited to announce that she continues to thrive and is just shy of 10kg! Her growth and resilience are truly inspiring.

With the timeless dedication of his carertakers, Archie is now down to one bottle of milk a day and maturing and is growing into an independent pangolin as he spends longer out in the feild on his daily foraging walks.

Our Story

South Africa is home to the little known Temminck's ground pangolin. There is a rapidly escalating and urgent need to help save pangolins confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade. ProVet Wildlife Services are at the cutting edge of these conservation efforts, and are leading the way in rescue and rehabilitation of these elusive and critically endangered species.

​Pangolins are the world's most illegally trafficked animal in the world! Poached for both traditional African beliefs, as well as rapidly developing Asian markets for use in traditional medicines and as a delicacy. The fact is that pangolin scales are made out of keratin. No different to human finger and toenails.

​The Pangolin Rescue Fund is working very closely with ProVet Wildlife Services, Hoedspruit's specialist wildlife veterinarians, led by Dr Pete Rogers, as the rescued pangolin first responders, medical carers and support for all pangolins rescued from the illegal wildlife trade in the Hoedspruit area. The pangolins arrive severely compromised, stressed, malnourished and dehydrated, requiring around the clock medical care and support.

With your help through contributions, symbolic adoptions and raising awareness we can give the pangolins that are rescued from the illegal wildlife trade a second chance in life and return them back to the wild where they belong!
