A sunda pangolin and her baby at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre in Cambodia.

Mum is a bit wary here as her friends are getting ready for their regular health checks, but her check-up will come another day; aside from their physical armour, they are very delicate creatures prone to stress and are difficult to keep in captivity. The healthiest thing for them on that day was to be left alone to relax.

This little family is among many rescued pangolins at Phnom Tamao cared for by Conservation International.
