BINTULU: A 10kg pangolin and its baby were handed over to the Sarawak Forestry Corporate (SFC) Bintulu Regional Office on Tuesday by an individual.
In its Facebook posting, the corporation stated a person purchased the mother pangolin and its baby from a foreigner out of pity, recalling the pangolins’ fate if they were still with the foreigner.
