Summary: | Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica Desmarest, 1822), also known as Malayan or
Javan pangolin, is one of four species of pangolin available in Asia that includes
Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata E. Geoffroy, 1803), Chinese pangolin
(Manis pentadactyla Linnaeus, 1758), and Philippine pangolin (Manis culionensis
de Elera, 1915). The remaining four species are from the African lineage, which

black-bellied pangolin (Phataginus tetradactyla Linnaeus, 1766), Giant pangolin
(Smutsia gigantean Illiger, 1815), and Temminck's pangolin (Smutsia temminckii
Smuts, 1832). Figure 1 shows the species ranges of the pangolin species on the
