Pangolin - Journey to Freedom
Soomusloom - Teekond vabadusse
Here is the story of Kosha, an orphaned Temminck’s, or ground pangolin, from Zimbabwe. She’s a small, harmless, scaly, ant-eating mammal with a ridiculously long tongue. Kosha was rescued from poachers in 2017 and taken to the Tikki Hywood Foundation when she was a pup. Here she was raised by caring humans and released back into the wild. Now fully grown, Kosha offers her main carers, Lisa, Ellen and Luke, a rare glimpse into her secret life. So little is known about pangolins in the wild. Six years of ups and downs – of life and death situations, of previously unknown pangolin behaviour culminating in the birth of her first pup, give Lisa, Ellen and Luke the clues they need to fill in some of the missing gaps in pangolin science. And those revelations will make a big difference to the liberation and survival of the many rescued pangolins to follow.
