In this photo taken Friday, February 22, 2019 a pangolin recovers from anesthetic at the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital, after undergoing a sonogram to check for pregnancy after being rescued from poachers in a sting operation. With the expansion of Pretoria and Johannesburg, South Africa's capital city and its economic center, the animals indigenous to the region are being squeezed out by development. The wildlife hospital mainly treats small mammals and raptors that are injured. (Photo by Denis Farrell/AP Photo)
