Nigeria seizes pangolin scales bound for Vietnam AFP 1/27/2021 © Isaac Kasamani Pangolins are believed to be the world s most-trafficked animal Nigeria has seized pangolin scales and tusks and bones from endangered species allegedly bound for export to Vietnam, a senior customs official said Wednesday.

Studies have also suggested the pangolin may have been the intermediate host that transmitted the coronavirus to humans when it first emerged at a wet market in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019.
