I couldn't believe it: I was watching in wonder at the picathartes hopping around near us (observation here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/183886967), when this pangolin fell out of (jumped from?) a taller tree into the tree right above us... What a day!

Seen at ~1,600m altitude, on a rockly outcrop below the summit of Chikala Hill.

There seems to be some discussion as to whether E. vincenti is a species on its own or a sub-species of the E. capensis. One of the reasons for this is the call of the bird (noted in a lot of literature to be virtually identical to the E. capensis) - I have therefore recorded and uploaded the call this bird made as it hopped around on the rocks. There were 4-5 birds, but most hiding behind grass or inside branches of leaves of a small shrub. Later there was another group of 2-3 hopping around nearby (possibly some of the same individuals as in this observation) and I will post these as a separate observation.
