      It's so tiny.

      It was a very young specimen taken from a laboratory... It only survived a month in Jardin des Plantes.

      Are pangolins particularly delicate and hard to keep?

      There aren't many in captivity. 13 reported to ISIS across four of the seven species.

      I've always been fascinated with this species. It's unfortunate they don't fair very well in captivity.:(
