Misinformation Surrounding Video of Pangolins - Fact Check Reveals Origins and Misidentified Locations

Reported 9 months ago

The Taiwan Fact Check Center investigated a viral video of pangolins supposedly spotted in various locations like Nanzhuang, Taichung, and Xizhi, but found that the video actually originated in Nantou in April 2022, not recently. Experts explained that pangolins inhabit all low-altitude mountain areas in Taiwan and advised maintaining distance and not disclosing locations online to prevent disturbance or capture by opportunists. The spread of misinformation and misidentification of the video's location led to incorrect claims and a broader discussion on protecting pangolins in their habitat.
