A newborn pangolin looks on from a cage after being born shortly before a press conference in Bangkok, Thailand on April 20. Thai customs seized 173 smuggled pangolins and 130 kilograms of dried snake skins valued at 66,000 US dollars, customs said. The pangolin is listed as an endangered species in CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).
