Description: My adventures in The Democratic Republic of Congo went about as expected. We wanted to travel to undiscovered places for 3 weeks, and we ended up being labeled as spies, fled to the jungle, had to trade a crocodile for a bed, and got lost along the way. While in the cities, I tried to visit local markets to get a feel for the place. Near the end of the adventure, we found a Pangolin at a bush meat market. I couldn't handle watching this amazing animal die in a bag, so we tried to save it. This is that story. Pangolins are endangered creatures, and are the most highly trafficked animals in the world. Hunted mostly for their scales on the black market, this is not what happens here. In this part of Congo, it's primarily just for food. Maybe I could have made a better decision. Was buying the pangolin right or wrong? Was it better to try and save it, or just leave it? Let's chat in the comments. #congo #travel #fearlessandfar Check out the previous CONGO videos DEEP Inside VOODOO WRESTLING in CONGO: youtu.be/MOdjZEGi9N8 Dressing like Millionaires in Poverty - The Dandies of Congo: youtu.be/EzwiiOucpDk LOST in CONGO and trading a CROCODILE for a Bed: youtu.be/jaC1y44svpE LOST in CONGO and Hunting VENOMOUS SNAKES with PYGMIES: youtu.be/jaC1y44svpE My gear, new locations, and cool discoveries in my Newsletter Join the Adventure Newsletter fearlessandfar.com/newsletter All my Video locations on ONE BIG MAP: fearlessandfar.com/getthemap 6 Life Lessons I learned to conquer my fears and travel the world: fearlessandfar.com/fear Links to my TV show, Podcast, and More linktr.ee/fearlessandfar 0:00-0:47 Intro 0:47-7:50 Animal Wet Market 7:50-11:28 Dark History Lesson 11:28-13:16 Black Magic & Bokoko 13:16-14:19 How we Found it 14:19-24:56 Saving the Pangolin 24:56-26:37 Was it right or wrong? ♥ Friends ♥ Big love to Obed at kumbukumbutours(at)gmail.com for putting this trip together.
