We were recently called by a concerned member of the public, who had found a small pangolin running down a busy road in Siem Reap outside a market. Due to its location, it is highly suspected that this animal escaped from a trader within the market. Luckily, the kind caller picked the animal up, and kept it safe at her durian stall until we could get there. 

On arrival, it was obvious to our team that the pangolin was very young, and had perhaps only just been separated from her mother. She was also suffering from an ulcerated eye, likely caused by a traumatic injury - this is also likely a result of the terrible conditions she would have been exposed to when being poached from the wild and held in the illegal wildlife trade. She would not have survived in the busy streets by herself, so we were exceptionally grateful for the finders getting her to safety. 
We named her “Tou-ren” - which means Durian in Khmer. She was taken back to our specialist facility at ACCB and given medical treatment for her eye, and lots of tasty ants for dinner!
