Taipei Zoo said on Friday that one of its Formosan pangolins, the world's oldest captive #pangolin, was put down by a vet two days earlier, after suffering from kidney problems for more than two years.

Cuối tuần của mọi người thế nào? Cuối tuần của Đăng là điệu nhảy “Tê tê vẫn thế" này đây 🕺🕺 Khi xem xong “Bản tin Nguội", Đăng đã cực kì ấn tượng với sự đáng yêu của BTV Tê Tê, và đặc biệt nhất là đoạn rap cực “chất” khiến Đăng phải đu đưa theo.

Tê tê đáng yêu là thế nhưng khi tìm hiểu, Đăng được biết rằng loài động vật này đang bị đe dọa nghiêm trọng bởi sự săn bắt và buôn bán trái phép từ con người: Chỉ trong 10 năm, hơn 1 triệu con tê tê đã bị buôn bán trái phép khiến chúng trở thành loài động vật có vú bị buôn bán nhiều nhất trên thế giới.

Vậy nên mọi người ơi, nhảy cùng Đăng vũ điệu “Tê tê vẫn thế" để kêu gọi cộng đồng cùng chung tay bảo vệ tê tê nhé!

How was your last weekend?
My weekend is all about the dance "Te te van the" 🕺🕺
After watching "Not-so-Breaking News", I was extremely impressed by the cuteness of television editor Te Te, and especially the "cool" rap, which made me rock with every beat.
Despite pangolins’ cuteness, this kind of animal is seriously threatened by illegal hunting and trade from humans. In just 10 years, more than 1 million pangolins were illegally traded, making them the most trafficked mammals in the world.
So everyone, dance with me the challenge "Te te van the" to call the community on protecting the pangolins!

Spotted on our latest trip! This rare sighting reminds us how vibrant and alive the forests of Taiwan 🇹🇼 are! We must be steadfast in our support and protection of these fragile habitats! 💚💚💚

It’s not in the Terms and Conditions, but magic happens on @parkbus_taiwan trips.

Pangolins (#穿山甲) are the most trafficked animals on Earth and Taiwan is likely the last conservation stronghold for pangolins, which are listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List.

The first nature documentary series on global endangered species in Taiwan, 《Orphans of the Earth》presents three new episodes in 2021 《Elves of Taiwan》，that reach out to the sky, the sea and the grasslands only to reveal precocious footages of the endangered endemic species that are known for extreme rarity, minimal sighting rate and videotaping challenges—Taiwan Grass Owls, the Taiwanese Humpback Dolphins, and the Formosan pangolins.

The production crew of “Elves of Taiwan” partakes in perhaps the most difficult animal rescue operations in line with conservation efforts and the most dignified science-based survey projects. The program unveils diversified local landscapes and endemic species completed by various angles and perspectives—from aerial rescues, ocean investigations, to underground bone excavations; it is indeed a brutally honest series that documents the conservation and restoration of the terrestrial, oceanic, and airborne endemic species in Taiwan.


A pangolin is hunted every five minutes in the world on average. It’s the most seriously poached mammal on earth. The film crew climbs the rock and follows Dr. Ching-Min Sun, a renowned pangolin researcher, in his tracking for pangolins. We monitor their life journeys and try to dig out burrows and the truth behind their deaths. In 50 years, Taiwan has transformed from a hunting ground to a breeding ground for pangolins. After years of conservation, pangolins in Taiwan are increasing with the highest wildlife density in the world. The island has become the last fortress for pangolins worldwide.

The film crew participates in Taiwan humpback dolphin surveys by Ocean Conservation Administration on the sea, captures a rare humpback dolphin group, and explores root causes behind their dwindling populations. Also, we document the largest pygmy killer whale rescue effort by 2,000 people over 56 days. We follow researchers to Orchid Island, an outer islet of Taiwan, to uncover the bones of a baby sperm whale, and record the tragic deaths of stranded melon-headed whales and blue whales. Their survivals and deaths are symptomatic of a deteriorating marine environment.

In the Southwestern badlands in Taiwan, there is a very mysterious owl of terrestrial habitats, the Taiwan grass owls, and as of today, scientists are still unable to decipher its whereabouts and behaviors. Against all odds, the production team followed up all kinds of clues for two years— from bird net rescues, follow-up research, to nocturnal studies— and is finally able to present the stirring life story of these aerial elves of Taiwan as they face the changes and destructions in their habitats.
