Indo Burmese pangolin

Manis aurita, the Indo-Burmese pangolin, is a pangolin in the family Manidae native to India, Myanmar, Nepal, and possibly Bhutan. It was recently described as Manis indoburmanica, but the oldest available name for the species is Manis aurita.

Description

The total body length is 70 cm.

Taxonomy

In 2025, the species was split from the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) under the newly described name Manis indoburmanica, however the name aurita <small>Hodgson, 1836</small> has priority over indoburmanica.

Conservation

It is presumed to be critically endangered.
