## Caption

Celebrating World Pangolin Day with some new friends who are featured in the National Geographic Museum of Exploration! 🥳

This sweet pangolin and her pangopup (yes, that's actually what they're called!) were photographed by National Geographic Explorer Joel Sartore as part of his Photo Ark project. 💛

This decades-long conservation effort is dedicated to photographing every animal in human care to raise awareness for the extinction crisis.

🐢🦭🦁🦩 Which animal featured in the Photo Ark are you most excited to see when #TheMOE opens in the summer? Drop your answer below! ⬇️

Seen here: An endangered female white-bellied tree pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) and her juvenile.
