(2) Two different forms of Chinese pangolins can be recognized according to the color of their scales, i.e., brown and dusky.
(3) Body temperatures and rates of O2 consumption and CO2 production were measured in four Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) during short-term exposures (2-4 h) to ambient temperatures (Ta) of 10-34 degrees C. At Ta less than 27 degrees C the pangolins curled into a sphere.

(6) Our results suggest that there is considerable divergence in Chinese pangolins, and brown and dusky Chinese pangolins may be quite different forms or, at least, belong to different maternal groups.
(7) Eimeria tenggilingi is described from the pangolin or scaly anteater, Manis javanica, in Malaysia.
(8) The investigation does not indicate any special relationship between the New World edentates and the Old World pangolins, whereas the marked difference in the course of the internal carotid artery in recent edentates stresses the independent development of the South American anteaters compared with that of the two other edentate groups (armadillos and tree sloths).

(11) Wildlife groups say Chinese demand for traditional medicine and exotic meats accounts for its strong hold over the illegal wildlife trade across south-east Asia, including tigers, turtles and pangolins.
(12) We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) purified from the livers of seven dusky and six brown Chinese pangolins from the same locality, using cleavage patterns from 19 restriction enzymes.
(13) Autoradiography was used to investigate the optic system of the Chinese pangolin, Manis pentadactyla.
(14) Beijing classifies 420 species as rare or endangered, including giant pandas, golden monkeys, Asian black bears and pangolins – scaly, slow-moving anteaters which curl into balls to avoid their predators.
(15) We measured O2 equilibria of adult blood and of 'stripped' (cofactor-free) hemolysates from adult and newborn Manis pentadactyla, in order to assess the implications of the burrowing habit and the low deep-core temperature in pangolins, and to discern the mechanisms for maternal-fetal O2 transfer.
(16) In this latter respect the pangolin is unique among mammals so far studied.
(17) By combining the cleavage patterns for each enzyme, the 13 samples were classified into four restriction types: two in dusky and two in brown Chinese pangolins.
(18) Chinese diners who enjoy bear bile, tiger bones and pangolin meat now have a new reason to lay down their chopsticks.
(19) The world's fast-rising human population and growing prosperity in countries such as China mean demand for exotic creatures, such as pangolins , has left "ghost forests" in places where all the wildlife has been stripped out .
