According to a recent report by WWF and other conservation groups, pangolins are being hunted to the edge of extinction. One of the main causes is the growing demand for pangolin meat and scales, which are believed to have medical properties. According to Asian traditional medicine, pangolin fetus-soup could increase a man's virility. However, since "pangolin mothers typically produce just one pup per litter, the soup comes laced with a deadly irony."
