Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) at Zoo Leipzig - April 7th 2014

Not the highest-quality image taken during the time I spent observing the Chinese Pangolins, but certainly one of the most unusual; granted it is not every day you see a pangolin, but even then, it is all the rarer to see a pangolin making a break for freedom!

      Well from what we've seen/heard from LaughingDove, this may not be that rare of an event:p

      Oh and a Lucky Bastard Award for you!

      Do they have keeper chats where they open up the exhibit?

      If memory serves, the keeper had opened the door briefly to retrieve a bucket and left it ajar, when this happened :p

      One would think that the keepers are tired of this and know when and how to close a door!

      From time to time, it is allowed to the pangolins doing a walk in the visitors area....also with visitors, if no too many people are there and if the keepers have time enough.

      Cute! I'd love to see a pangolin at a zoo.

      Ah, but the big question is: have any ZooChatters seen all three displayed species (possibly four if Nandankanan have any of their Indians on-show)?

      I really must get to San Diego...
