About this species

The Indo-Burmese pangolin is a pangolin native to India, Myanmar, Nepal and possibly Bhutan. Its total body length is about 70 cm. A 2025 publication treated it as a new species, Manis indoburmanica, but it had already been described in 1836, so the oldest available name is Manis aurita (Wikipedia, general species account).
The cached account is short and gives no diet, behaviour or breeding information. Other pangolins described on this site are nocturnal, ant- and termite-eating burrowers, but that should not be assumed for this species without a source (Wikipedia, general species account).
