Inside, they found 118 endangered pangolins wrapped tightly in bags and staked on top of each other. 113 of them were still alive.

"We lost five pangolins right on the rescue scene," Phap Nguyen Cong, communications officer at Save Vietnam's Wildlife (SVW), the organization that was called in for emergency help for the animals said. "And the 113 left are under care of our staff."

Pangolins are the most trafficked animals in the world, with their meat and scales believed to have medicinal properties.

It took hours to rescue and inspect all the pangolins found in the car before they were driven to the rescue center.

The poor creatures were immediately given food and water, something they had been deprived of for days.

The pangolins are currently being held at Save Vietnam Wildlife, which is asking for donations to help feed the rescued animals.
