CHITÓN - Chiton magnificus Estos moluscos poseen un cuerpo de forma ovoide, recubierto por 8 placas de color negro o verde oscuro uniforme en su parte dorsal, rodeadas por un cinturón que presenta escamas. En la parte ventral tiene un pie plano y ancho para adherirse con facilidad al sustrato duro. Puede llegar a medir 17 cm. de longitud. Habita en pozas del intermareal, bajo bolones, en lugares con alto intercambio de agua. Se distribuye desde las Islas Galápagos hasta el Cabo de Hornos. Es una especie herbívora que se alimenta de algas finas que raspan con la rádula (órgano alimentario característico de los moluscos). #chiton #fauna #faunamarina #molusco #bidiversidad #PuntaChilen #Chiloé #chiloeisland #surdechile #regióndeloslagos #Chile #picoftheday #instachiloe - @florafaunayfungidechiloe on Instagram

Congratulations to the African Pangolin Working Group (APWG) for its great work reintroducing pangolins to South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province! After being locally extinct for 30-40 years due to illegal hunting and trafficking, rescued pangolins have now been reintroduced by the APWG with help from the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital. After a period of veterinary care at the Hospital, the pangolins have a soft release back into the wild, so they are able to adjust to their surroundings and are monitored after their release using tracking tags. .

- Pangolins have a distinct footprint. Their front claw curves in as they walk. These footprints can be used to track a population of pangolins, especially given that they are notoriously shy.

- Pangolins are under threat from illegal trafficking networks. Around 100,000 of these cute guys are plucked from the wild each year in Africa and Asia, as their flesh is considered a delicacy in China and Vietnam and their bones and blood are used for traditional medicine.

This little Nile is a unique specimen, his name is Delta. To most guest he is just a Nile crocodile living with our alligators, but to us he is our little weirdo. Compared to other niles he is a little stockier and has more defined post orbital ridges almost like a Cuban croc. We even joke that he looks like a hybrid!

Journée mondiale du rhinocéros 🦏 . On compte actuellement cinq espèces de rhinocéros dans le monde, deux en Afrique et trois en Asie. . 🔍 Les connaissez-vous ? Le rhinocéros blanc, le rhinocéros noir et le rhinocéros de Sumatra possèdent deux cornes, contrairement au rhinocéros de Java et au rhinocéros indien, qui nen ont quune. . 🚨 Aujourdhui, toutes ces espèces sont menacées ou quasi-menacées, et trois dentre elles sont même classées « en danger critique dextinction »... . Elles sont principalement victimes du braconnage pour approvisionner le commerce illégal de leur corne, très prisée dans la médecine traditionnelle asiatique. .

Happy #WildlifeWednesday!! Say hello 👋🏻 to the Brown Water Snake (Nerodia taxispilota). In the Everglades, you may find them hiding in the quiet areas of the swamps, cypress domes, or other wooded aquatic areas. While you should always be sure to keep a respectful distance from wildlife, brown water snakes are nonvenomous and will typically only bite if provoked. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled on your next slog or wet walk in Everglades National Park! 👀🐍 📸: @rlchaplinphotography #snakes #nonvenomous #camoflauge #Everglades #EvergladesNationalParkInstitute #EVERI #FNPA #EvergladesNationalPark #FindYourPark #GoParks #NationalParks #OptOutside #florida - @evergladesinstitute on Instagram

Happy #CameraTrapTuesday! This week, we have a species that is not often seen due to their nocturnal nature - the aardvark or antbear. Aardvarks can eat up to 60,000 ants and termites during the course of a single night. While raiding ant and termite colonies, the aardvark can close its nostrils to keep the dust and the insects from getting into its snout. #Karingani #People #Wildlife #Conservation #Nature #Aardvark #WildlifeFacts #CameraTrap #WildlifeConservation #Mozambique #WildlifeMoments #ThisIsMozambique #WildPlanet - @karinganimozambique on Instagram

⚠️ Warning for graphic images. Unfortunately, these photos show the harsh reality that millions of pangolins face in the wild. Pangolins, like this white-bellied African species, are hunted and/or poached in their range countries for food and traditional medicines. However, these are not the main threats to their survival. African pangolins are increasingly being poached to meet overseas demand especially from the Asian continent where their scales are a constituent of many traditional medicines. These dead pangolins were found during @pangolino_org’s first field trip. It was a very sad moment for their team especially as this meant it would be more difficult to find the rare, cryptic and nocturnal white-bellied pangolin they were after. The dripping tongue is a normal phenomenon when a pangolin is dead. Perhaps it is because they have no teeth to hold back their extremely long tongue that helps to pick up ants/termites. Pangolin populations are declining due to high demand for the scales, a unique feature which should be the reason they are protected and loved by humans all around the world. Do you know of species (plant or animal) that are extinct/facing extinction because of a special/rare attribute? Share in the comment section.

🤠@rangerkatie_ takeover!🤠 Hi it’s me, Ranger Katie, back again for another Instagram takeover with Essex Wildlife Trust! This months focus is all about my most favourite creatures on the planet... bats!! 🦇 I am a bat worker and have been training to do bat care, which entails rehabilitating injured bats back into the wild! My biggest goal as a conservationist is to share with everyone how amazing bats are and hopefully inspire other people to love bats as much as I do! 💕 This has been an amazing journey so far and I wanted to share a few interesting facts about a few of our brilliant bat species we have right here in Essex! 🦇 ⚠️ please note it is illegal to handle or keep bats. Bats are not pets and bat rehabilitation is undertaken by licensed, trained and vaccinated bat workers. If you do find a grounded or injured bat, please call your local bat group or call the Bat Conservation Trust helpline for advice and information. Thank you 🦇 - @essexwildlifetrust on Instagram

Bom dia! Esse é o Tatu-peba ou como também é conhecido Tatu-peludo. Esse cara é onívoro, alimentando-se de uma grande variedade de ítens como invertebrados, raízes e outras partes de vegetais, vermes e pequenos vertebrados, pode também se alimentar de animais mortos. Pesa em média 5kg e o período de gestação dura de 60 a 65 dias, onde nascem de 2 a 3 filhotes. Espero que gostem. Fotos: Sabrina Martins/TXAI - @richardselvagem on Instagram

Close your eyes and imagine a rhino - how would you portray it? 🦏 Of course, there is the big horn front and center, but how do you go from there? In 1515 Albrecht Dürer asked himself the same question. When the king of Portugal received a rhino as a gift, Dürer produced a flyer documenting the occasion - without ever seeing the animal himself. Nevertheless, he based his depiction on descriptions and on what was probably not a very accurate drawing. See all the patterns and textures to mark different body parts? The portrayal was so convincing that it determined the European image of a rhinoceros for centuries. . Did you know that there are five species of rhinos? Today, we celebrate all of them on #WorldRhinoDay, first announced in 2010 by @wwfsouthafrica. . .

Hola amigxs tanto tiempo. Nos tomamos un pequeño receso en la semana de fiestas patrias 🇨🇱. Ahora volvemos con todo. . Hoy vamos hablar de un armadillo que se parece mucho al Peludo ... pero no es peludo ni Peludo. . 🔸ARMADILLO DE 6 BANDAS🔸 . . Su nombre científico es Euphractus sexcinctus. Con mucha imaginación se entiende que el nombre ya nos está dando una pista de su característica. . 🔸Otros nombres comunes son #GUALACATE #PEJIGRANDE #QUIRQUINCHODESEISBANDAS #TATUPOYU . Si unos nombres muy graciosos, 🤪pero como somos un equipo muy serio lo llamaremos como Armadillo de 6 bandas. . Muchas personas lo conocen como peludo, pero está 😤MAL. No es un Peludo 😡😡😡( Chaetophractus villosus). Sin embargo se parece bastante. No te preocupes que te comentaré unos tips para diferenciar súper bien el Peludo y el Armadillo de 6 bandas. . 👉El armadillo de 6 bandas es mucho más grande 😱que el Peludo. Puede medir perfectamente 50 cm de cuerpo, sin contar la cola .😱😱🤯 . 👉Su cola es larga ¡25cm de puro rabo! 🤯🍑 . 👉Pesa el doble que el Sr. Peludo! . Si , como lo leíste , puede alcanzar 7 kilos de peso. . 👉Su coraza es más amarilla . 👉6 bandas móviles . Y yo les pregunto ¿ Cuantas bandas móviles tiene el Peludo?.🤔 . 👉El gualacate no habita en Chile. El Peludo si 👍. . Este fue el armadillo que apareció en un video con un corderito en Uruguay. Al igual que el Peludo , es un omnívoro oportunista. También se alimenta de carroña. Pero insistimos no es un mamífero predador ( no caza) aunque si se puede casar con su novia pero no cambiemos de tema . . En otro post les hablaré más de este simpático armadillo impostor de Peludo. Si lo ven por ahí pregunten si es un Peludo. Si no responde es porque ..es un animal y no hablan , y si te responde...te recomendamos visitar un terapeuta. . 😘 .#armadillo #armadillos #peludo #xenarthra #chile #fauna #latinoamerica #neotropical #uruguay #armadillosdeseisbandas #armadillode6bandas - @armadilloschile on Instagram

From hunter to conservationist 🤩 Swipe to watch an armadillo being rescued and released by Jovanny Rodriguez, a former hunter who throughout the years has changed his perspective on wildlife and has become an advocate for biodiversity conservation 🏆 Armadillo’s armour works well against most predators, but not against humans. They are constantly run over by cars and hunt for their meat. 🚗 👀 their eyesight is poor, so they hunt with a highly developed sense of smell. They also have airy hairs along their sides and belly, which they use to feel their way around 🌎 📸 unknown ____________________________________ #armadillos #wildlifeconservation #conservationist #armadillo #conservationeducation #photowildlife #animalsanctuary #colombianbloggers #wildlifephotography #scicomm #womeninscience #wildlifeprotection #natureblog #natureblogger #naturalezayvida #animalessalvajes #environmentalist #ecoblogger #wildlifebiologist #babyanimalspictures #animalestiernos #animalblogger #animalblog #ukbloggers #iloveanimalsgroup #saveanimals #saveanimalslives #babyanimalsofinstagram #zoologystudent #biodiversidade - @conservation_laura on Instagram

Forest fragmentation is the breaking of large, contiguous, forested areas into smaller pieces of forest; typically caused by construction of roads, expanding agriculture and exponentially, rapid urbanisation. Over time, those non-forest patches tend to multiply and expand until eventually the forest is reduced to scattered, disconnected patches, having wide ranging effects on forest health, the species within and the overall ecosystem.

Whoop whoop! Let me introduce you to my first attempt at an animal using non recyclable plastic as the body base and coffee pods as scales! Welcome rainbow pangolin!! What do you think? Should I experiment using more unusual non recyclables? 🌈☕ Part of series Social creatures - Dont throw me away. Constructed completely out of household waste, primarily food packaging and non recyclable plastics.

- Pangolins are endangered due to the misconception that its scales, made of flattened modified hair, can be used medicinally. Unfortunately, as a result, this is one of the most trafficked animals in the world.

My wildest Dreams I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be lucky enough to have such intimate and personal encounters with such a rarely seen animal. A pangolin is certainly one of the most sought after animals on any avid safari-goers bucket list and at @tswalu you are best positioned to encounter one of these captivating creatures. They are shy by nature, gentle and resilient, but they are extremely difficult to find and sadly, they are being trafficked across the world for their scales, the thing that is there to protect them the most. #mikesutherlandphoto #comeESCAPEwithus #wildgeography #photographer #natureismental #thisissouthafrica #southafrica #nature #safari #africa #iamnikonsa #inspiredbycuriosity #tswalu - @mikesutherlandphoto on Instagram

A baby pangolin only hours old in this photo. This photo just makes us amazingly happy. WOW, a generous donor has offered to match ALL DONATIONS made until Jan 1st on PangolinConservation.org! AMAZING! Pangolins are currently the world’s most trafficked mammal. Why? Some people falsely believe the unique scales have medical properties. They do not! The scales are made of keratin, the same thing as your fingernails. Want to know what your donation will go towards? You know how quickly technology evolves? We want our work to take a similar approach. We’re engaging in new ways to decrease poaching that are rapidly evolve towards ever increasing successful programs. Well be FINALLY unveiling a citizen-science program to classify pangolin habitat utilizing satellite imagery. This will allow YOU to help in a BIG way to pangolin research!!! Were going deep into illicit markets in the USA, Canada, Europe, & Asia. As we ID sources & transit routes well be able to focus efforts to decrease those markets. With the Pangolin Consortium, were offering grants to other pangolin conservationists. This will increase the understanding & help decrease the problems pangolins face. We’re working on a wild pangolin conservation and research reserve in Togo with some other zoological partners! We cant wait to say more. 🙂 There’s SO much we’re excited about. Its all been possible, BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU! To donate go to PangolinConservation.org - @pangolinconservation on Instagram

- These African white-bellied tree pangolins are among the most frequently trafficked animals in the world, primarily because some cultures maintain the belief that the scales of these creatures have curative properties.

The thick-tailed pangolin is one of the most shy and elusive animals in the Sri Lankan wilderness. Pangolins are considered endangered and are the most trafficked mammals in the world. They are protected by Sri Lankan law and can be found frequenting thickly forested areas in the island.

🇺🇸 This little guy is a pangolin. The species is the most-trafficked animal, and has been pushed to the brink of extinction. Their scales are highly coveted for traditional Chinese medicine and their meat is seen as a delicacy. The animal has also been linked to the outbreak of coronavirus, but the evidence isn’t clear. But now there is some good news! They’ve been taken off the official list of traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Chinas move to phase out pangolin scales from traditional medicines could be the game changer we have been waiting for… We hope Chinas next move will be to enforce the regulations and work to change consumer behaviour,” Paul Thomson of Save Pangolins said. . . 🇮🇹Questo piccoletto è un pangolino. La specie è lanimale più trafficato ed è stato spinto sullorlo dellestinzione. Le loro squame sono molto ambite per la medicina tradizionale cinese e la loro carne è vista come una prelibatezza. Lanimale è stato anche collegato allo scoppio del coronavirus, ma le prove non sono chiare. Ma ora ci sono alcune buone notizie! Sono stati tolti dallelenco ufficiale dei trattamenti di medicina tradizionale cinese. La mossa della Cina per eliminare gradualmente le squame di pangolino dalle medicine tradizionali potrebbe essere il punto di svolta che stavamo aspettando ... Speriamo che la prossima mossa della Cina sarà quella di far rispettare le normative e lavorare per cambiare il comportamento dei consumatori, ha affermato Paul Thomson di Save Pangolins.

Some people are accusing pangolins of being the problem causing the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. But these mammals are harmless creatures, who live quietly in the forests and do not pose a risk to humans. Nevertheless, were hunting them to extinction for the value of their scales and meat, which are considered to have mystical properties. Research points at this as the way how the virus jumped to humans. Pangolins are not to blame. They dont actively transmit the disease as mosquitoes transmit malaria. The pandemic spread is due to human contagion. - @thegreenwars on Instagram

Pangolin Specialist Group member, Professor Wu Shibao, who has worked in pangolin conservation for over 25 years, talks to the South China Normal University about Chinas recent announcement upgrading pangolins to the highest level of protection and is positive about the impact the protections will have on pangolins. Chinese pangolins are listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. According to Professor Wu Shibao, the species has declined by up to 95% and Chinese pangolins are now rarely seen in the wild. He hopes the new level of protection will raise awareness of pangolins and help populations recover. .

Thank you to @joelsartore for helping to get the message of pangolins out to millions of people across the world! Original Post: “This mother and baby white-bellied pangolin are part of Pangolin Conservation, a non-profit organization in Florida. In the wild, this species is found in West and Central Africa, but the biggest threat to their survival comes from an entirely different continent – Asia. All eight species of pangolin are in danger of extinction due to the illegal trafficking of both live pangolins, and the body parts of deceased individuals – especially their scales, which are used in Asia as traditional medicine because of the false belief that the scales contain curative properties. Many governmental groups and NGOs are working hard to combat the trafficking crisis, but they need your help. Use the power of your network to share this incredible species with as many people as you can and bring attention to the threats they are facing in the wild.” #pangolin #pangopup #endangeredspecies #WorldPangolinDay #PhotoArk #savetogether - @pangolinconservation on Instagram

One of the lucky pangolins that was recovered a couple of weeks ago was a large and heavily pregnant female who was later name Autumn because of the stunning colours of her scales. Autumn responded to her treatment well and was soon out foraging for ants on her nightly walks and picking up the weight that she had lost during in ordeal. Autumn has now begun the stage of her rehabilitation called soft release, where she has been released in an undisclosed location and will be closely monitored for the coming weeks to ensure that she continues to eat well and explore her new surroundings. As she is believed to be so close to the end of her pregnancy we are all waiting with baited breath to hear when the little one arrives. Providing her soft release goes well, mother and baby will then be able to continue their lives undisturbed by humans. Help us to keep helping them...

Up to 75 per cent of human infectious diseases that have recently emerged are known or are suspected to have originated from animals. Bats are the source of many of them, but in most cases another carrier is needed to transmit them to humans. The latest and most serious of these threats, SARS-CoV-2, has infected us through a pangolin, the worlds most trafficked mammal, sold in a wet market in Wuhan, China. We knew that nature was going to fight back. We anticipated that the ice melting was going to increase the sea level, the pollution was going to produce us lounge cancer, the destruction of the ozone field was going to cause skin cancer and many other problems. But we didnt expect that something as apparently irrelevant as the wildlife trade, that was only endangering biodiversity, could be able to provoke a health crisis like this coronavirus outbreak. And were all paying for it, because we looked the other way. - @thegreenwars on Instagram

Sluuuuuurp.👅 Eine ganz schön lange Zunge hat der #Pangolin. Und, wenn man genau schaut, auch ziemlich lange Krallen. Und das alles nur für ein paar Ameisen und Termiten. 🐜 . Denn auf der Pirsch nach krabbelnden Leckereien nutzen die Schuppentiere ihre Krallen. So brechen sie die Bauten der #Ameisen und #Termiten auf. Und dann gehts rund! Denn die lange, klebrige Zunge schleckt die Tierchen auf. . Übrigens: je nach Art ist die Zunge 15 bis 70 Zentimeter lang. 👅 Das Riesenschuppentier kann seine Zunge sogar 40 Zentimeter ausfahren! 😲👅 . Das alles schützt die Schuppentiere aber nicht vor #Wilderern.

- The scales of ground pangolin are unfortunately believed to do everything from keeping away lions to curing nosebleeds and more, which has resulted in their widespread trafficking and endangerment.

Despite increased protections, #pangolin scale seizures are at an all time high amidst the #COVID19 pandemic. A new report by the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, provides new data and details that show the trade in African pangolins to Asia for traditional medicine continues to grow. Last year, not only were more pangolin scales seized globally than in any other year for which data is available, but it also saw the biggest individual seizures of pangolin scales on record. Within a single week in April, Singapore intercepted a 14.2-ton shipment and a 14-ton shipment, estimated to be from more than 70,000 pangolins. Chris Hamley, senior pangolin campaigner for @EIAEnvironment, says illegal trade may have increased because as smugglers have shifted from Asian pangolins to African ones, there was an existing supply chain they could co-opt. “In Africa, there was already the bushmeat trade chains that have pangolins, and so it was almost like a natural byproduct,” Hamley says.

Repost from @sanghapangolinproject: A few days ago we received a beautiful black-bellied pangolin into our care. This young female came in weighing 670 g, a bit dehydrated and spooked after a long journey on the road from a village outside the forest reserve. The individual who brought her in told us she was saved by hunters, but we are still investigating the circumstances around her capture to better understand the situation. The @DzangaSangha park management authorities have been notified and we will keep them updated. We are so pleased to see that the local communities are aware of our work and wanting to help pangolins, and we want to continue to make sure that people respond to these situations in the best way possible. Ultimately, we strive to inform and educate on how to minimize interference with wildlife and encourage people to leave pangolins in the forest where they belong. For now, she is being closely monitored and is responding well to the ants we are feeding her. She has really perked up and we aim to release her as soon as possible! 📷 ©Alessandra Sikand (@ansikand) #pangolin #pangolins #pangolinconservation #blackbelliedpangolin #phataginustetradactyla #localcommunities #wildliferehab #Africanwildlife #DzangaSangha #Béafrika #CentralAfricanRepublic #Centrafrique - @pangolincrisis on Instagram

Honoured that our very own Sahana Ghosh and our contributor Anup Sharma were part of the The Pangolin Reports project which won the SOPA 2020 Awards - Award for Excellence in Reporting on the Environment Regional (English Language) Media. As part of this reporting project, more than 30 journalists from Asia and Africa investigated the illegal trade of the worlds most trafficked mammal - the #pangolin. Pangolins are small, solitary, largely nocturnal mammals known for their distinctive, armadillo-like appearance. The animal and their scales are smuggled through India’s northeastern states to Myanmar and then onto China and other countries, reported Sahana Ghosh. Tamil settlements in Manipur and their relatives in other states form a crucial link in this chain. International spotlight on the trafficking of rhino and tiger body parts, along with enhanced security, forced smugglers to shift to the illegal trade of small mammals like pangolins, wrote Anup Sharma.

On the morning of September 2, 2020, Duc Trong District Economic Police searched the house of a man in Lam Dong province in Vietnam after a tip-off. Upon inspection of the residence, police seized a pangolin, a civet, and two elongated tortoises. The subject admitted to purchasing the wildlife for treating heart disease, asthma, and to eat. It should be noted that consuming pangolins has no medicinal value. The investigation continues to discover the source of the wildlife and prosecution of the subject will follow soon.

Researchers at the University of Portsmouth in the UK adapt forensic fingerprinting technique to reveal fingerprints on illegally trafficked pangolin scales and help identify suspects. The research began in 2018 in collaboration with ZSL and the Wildlife Conservation Society, as well as crime officers in Benign, Kenya, Cameroon and India. The method has been used by forensic practitioners for a long time, but until now, has not been applied to wildlife crime. The researchers have worked with law enforcement agencies across Africa and Asia to share knowledge and develop new methods to tackle wildlife crime. According to Dr. Paul Smith, Director of the Forensic Innovation Centre at the University of Portsmouth: It equips the wildlife crime rangers and has the potential to be a deterrent to would-be traffickers, and a usable tool to help save the pangolin. Swipe to see the technique in action! . Image 1: Scales of a Temminck’s pangolin photographed by Warren Pearson.
