An endangered pangolin was rescued by the forest department in Jharkhand. The incident took place on April 18, Saturday. The scaly anteater was captured by villagers of the Rangachapd village, who found it in a field. Pangolin is believed to be the most illegally traded animal in the world. A video of the pangolin was shared by Indian Forest Services officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter. Pangolins are scale-covered mammals native to parts of Africa and Asia. They are believed to be the most trafficked mammal in the world and are traded for their scales used in traditional medicines, while their meat is also prized. Some studies show that pangolins may be the link for transmission of COVID-19 from bats to human.
