pangolin

 

This image, spotted a few months ago by several Snapshot Serengeti volunteers, is of an illusive and nocturnal creature. It’s a pangolin; a mammal also referred to as a ‘scaly anteater’. This is the best of very few shots of pangolins from the project so far. Read more about this rare sighting in this blog post and have a go at searching for pangolins (and many other beasts) yourself at http://www.snapshotserengeti.org/
