Scope and Contents
Despite being officially listed as endangered in Nigeria, pangolins are still hunted in Ogun State, where deforestation has fragmented and reduced their forest habitat. Only one of Nigeria's three pangolin species, Manis tricuspis, was encountered frequently. Hunters' reports and evidence of forest destruction suggest that even this species is becoming rare. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.
