And we must share it with our wildlife." — Steve Irwin A Pangolin Pup Found in a Cardboard Box Inside a car boot in Johannesburg, a three-month-old pangolin pup lay curled in a cardboard box, a cabbage leaf beside him — the trafficker's well-meaning but useless gesture toward feeding an animal whose diet consists entirely of ants and termites.
