Indo Burmese pangolin

Indo Burmese pangolin is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Indo Burmese pangolin rather than just read about it. In short: Manis aurita, the Indo-Burmese pangolin, is a pangolin in the family Manidae native to India, Myanmar, Nepal, and possibly Bhutan. A 2025 publication treated it as a new species, Manis indoburmanica, but the species had already been described in 1836, and the oldest available name for the species is Manis aurita.

Key takeaways

Indo Burmese pangolin belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Indo Burmese pangolin to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Indo Burmese pangolin from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Manis aurita, the Indo-Burmese pangolin, is a pangolin in the family Manidae native to India, Myanmar, Nepal, and possibly Bhutan. A 2025 publication treated it as a new species, Manis indoburmanica, but the species had already been described in 1836, and the oldest available name for the species is Manis aurita.

Description The total body length is 70 cm.

Taxonomy In 2025, the species was recognized as distinct from the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) under the newly described name Manis indoburmanica, however the name aurita Hodgson, 1836 has priority over indoburmanica. In their 2026 reassessment and phylogenetic analysis of M. aurita, Koju and colleagues recovered it as the sister taxon to M. pentadactyla, with this clade as the sister group to one including all other Manis species. These results are summarized in the cladogram below:

Conservation It is presumed to be critically endangered.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Indo Burmese pangolin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Indo Burmese pangolin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Indo Burmese pangolin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Indo Burmese pangolin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Indo Burmese pangolin

In research: Indo Burmese pangolin appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Indo Burmese pangolin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Indo Burmese pangolin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Mammal stubs, Mammals of Asia, Manis, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Indo Burmese pangolin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
