Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked wild mammal in the world.
They are famous for their highly prized keratin scales, a staple of traditional Chinese medicine.
A new study led by the University of Cambridge suggests 98% of Nigerian pangolin hunting is done for meat.
Around two-thirds of scales from these animals simply thrown away.
Pangolin hunting in southeast Nigeria is motivated more by local meat consumption than international demand for scales.
