Caption
Orphaned Temminck's ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) climbs on to the boot of an anti-poaching guard while foraging during rehabilitation at the Rhino Revolution facility in South Africa. This orphan's behavior mirrors its natural instinct as young pangolins spend the first months of their lives riding off the ground on their mothers. This orphan was found abandoned after its mother was taken by poachers. Highly Commended in Mont Photo competition 2019 (Environmental Report section).
