The pangolin is the common name for an unusual and rare genus of mammal that is only found in the tropics of Asia and Africa. I was able to find the names of eight pangolin species. They are Manis culionensis, Manis gigantea, Manis temminckii, Manis tricuspis, Manis tetradactyla, Manis crassicaudata, Manis pentadactyla, and Manis javanica.

Where do pangolines live?
Eight different pangolin species can be found across Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Four pangolin species occur across Asia: the Indian pangolin, the Chinese or Formosan pangolin, the Malayan or Sunda pangolin, and the Palawan pangolin. Four species are found in Africa south of the Sahara Desert: the Cape or ground pangolin, the tree pangolin, the giant pangolin, and the long-tailed pangolin. The four Asian pangolins are distinguished from the African species by the presence of bristles which emerge from between the scales. Pangolins are found in a variety of habitats including tropical and flooded forests, thick brush, cleared and cultivated areas, and savannah grassland; in general they occur where large numbers of ants and termites are found. Asian pangolins in particular are threatened by loss of habitat due to expanding agriculture and other human uses. Pangolins dig deep burrows for sleeping and nesting that contain circular chambers. Large chambers have been discovered in terrestrial pangolin burrows that were big enough for a human to crawl inside and stand up. Some pangolin species such as the Malayan pangolin also sleep in the hollows and forks of trees and logs.
