New article is 2,011 characters long and nominated one day after first expansion. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [1][2][3][4][5] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. Hook is 155 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Refs 2 and 4 (verifying the hook) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 11:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Six tonnes of pangolin scales, representing up to 10,000 individual animals were seized last month in Malaysia. Estimates suggest that more than 300 pangolins are poached from the wild every day. https://www.discoverwildlife.com/news/baby-wild-pangolin-rescued-thailand/
