Did you know Otter's are one of the most traded animals for the pet trade.
100's of wild otters are trapped for the pet trade: what does this mean? Mother otters are killed and then their new born babies stolen and destined for a life in captivity. As a young pup otters look cute and cuddly, as they grow up and reach maturity these pet owners realise that the needs of an otter is by no means an easy task and all too often these 'pets' end up in tiny, dirty cages with little to no enrichment and unable to express their natural behaviours.
Please never think any wild animal should be a PET they are wild for a reason and where ever possible should be allowed to live their lives in a natural environment. In this global COVID19 pandemic, many humans have been confined to less 'freedom' - ask yourself how have you coped? Yet you know that you can go for a walk and that this lockdown will not be forever - can you imagine what these otters in cages must feel and think when their lockdown never ends?
Today is World Otter Day - lets celebrate today and work towards all otters being free from a life in tiny cages and used as entertainment.

Happy Sunday with Makwande #Secondchances #Rescue #Pangolin#tikkihywoodfoundation #Zimbabwe
Great results from Zimbabwe, with the minimum mandatory sentence given for the conviction rhino poaching, to a retired police officer, a former scout and a Zambian national for killing a black rhino in the Bubye Valley Conservancy.
A retired police officer, a former scout and a Zambian national have been jailed for nine years for killing a black rhinoceros in Bubye Valley Conservancy near Beitbridge last year.
FREE: After a long journey, it is only fitting to go for a quick paddle to cool down.

Is it possible that China can stop it? We certainly hope so!
The world’s largest bazaar for the most endangered African wildlife species has shut down due to Covid-19, bringing new hope for pangolins, bats and civets.
Makwande meaning scales in Shona. Born in a poachers sack, abandoned by his mother due to stress and now in our care. This is a sad story, all animals deserve the right to be raised by their natural mothers. #leavewildlifeinthewildthewild #COVID19 #Pangolin #heartsore #tikkihywoodfoundation #Zimbabwe

The latest attack on the rangers protecting Virunga National Park has left all of us completely devastated. Our sympathies and thoughts go out to the ranger’s families. Words at a time like this can do no justice to the impact that these deaths will have on so many lives, both animal and human.
Virunga National Park is one of the most biologically diverse areas on the planet and home to the world's critically endangered mountain gorillas.
Earth Day, our planet is far from Happy. Today l give thanks for the privilege of being able to work with our earth's gardeners, the pangolin. #EarthDay#Pangolin #Covid19#TikkiHywoodFoundation

It will take a lot more time and awareness.
In lieu of coronavirus and its relationship with pangolins, it is important to know why the pangolin trade laws are hard to enforce.
Will pangolin artifacts be how the next generation will learn about what a pangolin was? #tikkihywoodfoundation #Covid19 #illegalwildlifetrafficking #2020
Healing is thristy work. This is Luleku enjoying a drink during his rehabilitation. He was successfully released in December 2019.

Let's hope other countries follow suit....
Zimbabwe has promulgated new regulations to protect endangered animal species and curb illegal wildlife trade in animal and animal products.

Positive news coming out of Gabon who are taking a proactive stance against the future spread of Corona type viruses. Bush meat consumption is a practice that needs to be addressed worldwide and sustainable and ethical alternatives need to be sought.
Gabon on Friday banned the sale and eating of bats and pangolins, which are suspected of sparking the novel coronavirus in China where they are highly prized in traditional medicine.
THT208 was recovered from a residential area in Harare by the ZRPs Mineral, Flora and Fauna Unit, on the 26th of October 2019. She was handed over to the Tikki Hywood Foundation for assessment and care. She is a young female, weighing 5.5kgs. She was released along with two other pangolins in November 2019. In this video taken on the day of her release her chosen burrow is a little small, but as you can see she started working on it, to make it her own.

In amongst Covid19, a horrendous seizure in Kuala Lumpur from Africa of pangolin scales. Heartsore and dissappointed.
KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 (Xinhua) -- Malaysian authorities announced Wednesday having seized 6.16 tons of pangolin scales worth an estimated 78 million ringgit (17.9 million U.S dollars) in its largest seizure so far this year.
THT208 is a free pangolin. She is discovering that her chosen burrow is a little small. Even measuring on her side does not change the fact that she is going to have to do a little digging. Video to follow.

Our thoughts are with you during these uncertain times. China and their bushmeat markets have a lot to answer for. #banbushmeattrade market's #COVID19 #Pangolin #heartsore
Meet one of our new rescues, Iris the bush pig. She came to us on the 23rd of February. Good samaratins found her drowning in a canal in Chiredzi. She has fully recovered from her ordeal and is very sweet most of the time, but can also be a little cheeky. She is around four months old.

A BIG smile from Splat the Bat, Happy Friday everyone. Stay safe.

Will the COVID-19 pandemic be the relief all animals need?
China bans the wildlife trade! Is factory farming next?
This is what we, mankind have created. All we can hope is that we learn from this and become respectful of the animals we share this planet with. #coronavirus #Covid19#bushmeatmarkets

Last year we received a request for assistance from Dr Mark in Nigeria. He had received a juvenile white bellied pangolin and needed assistance. We were able to guide him through the protocol and she is doing so well. He has called her Juba. She will eventually be released. https://www.facebook.com/SaintMarksAnimalHospital/ #TikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free
These are Red Velvet Mites, their bodies are covered with very fine hair to give them a velvety appearance. Belonging to the family Trombidiidae. It is one of the largest species of mites known to us. They are found everywhere; they inhabit and can survive in any kind of habitat. These were about the size of a finger nail.
Bat update: All three are thriving and doing really well. This quick slow motion video features Splat eating a mealworm. #TikkiHywoodFoundation
This is Splat having a feed soon after coming in to care. Having not done this species before, we reached out to REWILD NPC based in Palaborwa, South Africa, they are known bat rehabilitators. Jane Burd very kindly has advised and helped us through this rehabilitation. #TikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free
UPDATE: This little girl is growing so fast. Takekwitha is a happy procupine, she loves running, jumping and shaking her quills. #TikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free
RESCUED: This is THT209, another victim of the illegal wildlife trade, saved. Thankfully she was healthy and a good weight, so she was set free immediately. In the video she is having a drink of water after a long journey, before being released. #TikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free
UPDATE: Takekwitha loves playing and has a favourite toy, an orange ball. This is her last day in the 'nursery'. She will still have fulltime care, but she is being moved to a more natural environment. #TikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free

UPDATE: This is a video of Raphia, the juvenile female pangolin rescued from trade on the 9th of July, enjoying an afternoon of foraging. She is steadily gaining weight. As soon as she is a little bigger she will be released. #TheTikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free
RESCUED: THT191, we have called this gentle old lady, Chiremera it means "Dignity" in Shona, because that is what she deserves and we pledge to give her going forward. She was rescued from illegal trade on the 10th of July, weight 8.5kgs, very compromised and emaciated. So much so that she struggled to use her tongue. This video taken a couple of days in our care is of her using her tongue for the first time. There is hope for beautiful Chiremera. #TheTikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free

Luleku enjoying fresh elephant dung for the very first time. He had been with us from when he was very small, weighing only 1.2kgs. On his release a couple of weeks ago he weighed a healthy 10kgs. Without a doubt he entered his new environment "smelling like the local wildlife". #TikkiHywoodFoundation #SavePangolins #Free
