Scales for Robert A

[Ken Watkins]

A close up of the Pangolin, to show the scales.

These scales are one of the Pangolins best defenses but also bad news for them as many believe they have magical properties. They are very sharp!!

The penultimate paragraph on this link makes for sad reading

Nice vies of him curled up Ken. Good detail in the scales. Might be tempted to tone down the highlights a bit on the scales rihs of frame. Well done.

Morkel and Todd,

Thanks for your comments, light was certainly not with me.

[Robert Amoruso]

I will check out the link but thanks for posting this Ken, I love it. Great detail.

Robert,

I think it was a good idea of yours in the first place to request this Not many people get the chance to see these in the wild, most images you see are of captive animals, we were very lucky.

Very nice! Really does show some nice detail in the scales.
