Tree Pangolin returning to his home to sleep in Kyambura Gorge, Uganda

Long Tailed Tree Pangolin returning to it's bed. Not usually seen in the gorge, these creatures are considered a delicacy by the local people, this one is lucky to live in the Queen Elizabeth National Park where it is afforded some protection by the UWA. Clearly visible is the prehensile tail with the sensory pad at it's tip
