A wild animal, a Red Book animal with scales all over its body, "lost its way" into a house in Da Nang.

On October 9, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Da Nang City said that in the past two days, the Mobile Forest Ranger and Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Team received two rare and endangered wild animals, both listed in the Red Book. These two wild animals include one Burmese hawk (hawk) with the scientific name ( Spilornis cheela), weight 1.5 kg and 1 individual Java pangolin ( Manis javanica) weight 1.2 kg.

Of the two animals, the wild pangolin suddenly appeared in the garden of Mr. Ngo Van Luu, residing in village 5 (Hoa Khuong commune, Hoa Vang district, Da Nang).

After discovering this pangolin, knowing that it is a Red Book animal protected by law and conservation experts, Mr. Luu reported it to the authorities to hand it over.

The Burmese kite (Burmese hawk) was voluntarily handed over to the authorities by Ms. Nguyen Thi Mong Luong, residing in group 9 (Hoa Tho Tay ward, Cam Le district, Da Nang).

After completing the reception procedures, the Mobile Forest Ranger and Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Team handed over the vehicle to the Da Nang City Forest Ranger Sub-Department according to regulations and carried out rescue measures.

According to Decree No. 84/2021/ND-CP, these are precious and rare wild animals that are prioritized for protection and are strictly prohibited from exploitation and use for commercial purposes...
