| phylum | Chordata | The Chinese pangolin(Manis pentadactyla) is a pangolinfound in northern India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, northern Indochina, through most of Taiwan, and southern China(including the islands of Hainan). The Chinese pangolin is one of eight species of pangolins. Although these species are difficult to observe due to their elusive and solitary habits, all eight are believed to be on the decline. Asian pangolin species, especially the Chinese pangolin and the Sunda pangolin, are the most endangered of all the pangolin species.
