    I think last year there were still three at the centre in Sabah. Although they were declared extinct in the wild in Malaysia in 2015, the press releases in 2017 were still saying "thought to be extinct". There are still animals in Kalimantan apparently, so perhaps individual animals being found in Sabah still isn't out of the question.

    Great to see that Leipzig still hasn't fallen behind when it comes to the more unusual species.

    Should have posted this question a while ago, but I'm heading to Leipzig today, does anyone have any tips?

    Though the zoo's website has feeding times listed I'm not taking any chances and will be heading straight for the pangolins to check their feeding times from TeaLovingDave's advice.
