🐾Indian pangolin
Le Pangolin d'Inde (Manis crassicaudata) ou Grand pangolin d'Inde ou Pangolin à grosse queue est une espèce de mammifères de la famille des Manidae. Son corps est couvert d’écailles kératineuses - les plus grosses de tous les pangolins asiatiques. Avec les puissantes griffes de ses membres antérieurs, il creuse sur son territoire plusieurs terriers d’habitation pour se reposer et dormir, et des galeries dans les fourmilières et les termitières pour se nourrir. Il vit au Bangladesh, en Inde, au Pakistan et au Sri Lanka. Il est en 2020 classé comme une « espèce en danger » d’extinction dans la Liste rouge des espèces menacées de l’IUCN. Le trafic vers la Chine s’est beaucoup développé au début des années 2000, en raison d’une forte demande de ses écailles pour la médecine traditionnelle chinoise.
