	Digimorph - Manis tricuspis (African tree pangolin)
		Manis tricuspis, the African tree pangolin, is one of seven extant pangolins or scaly anteaters.
		Manis tricuspis is the smallest extant pangolin (1.8 - 2.4 kg).
		This specimen (AMNH 53896) was made available to the University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for scanning by Ted Macrini of the Department of Geological Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin.

		Foraging behavior and ecology of the Cape pangolin (Manis temminckii) in north-western Zimbabwe.
		This means that they have many jointed feet, a carapace- which is a large section of “plates” on their back, and other insect-like appendages and features, and live in a salt-water environment.
		Many people believe that turtles have the ability to “come out of their shells.” This, however, is false.

	Pangolins
		The giant pangolin (Manis gigantea) is mostly found in the moister areas of Uganda, western Kenya and Tanzania.
		The tree pangolin (Manis tricuspis) occurs in the same regions as the giant pangolin but prefers forests of secondary growth.
		The common pangolin (Manis temminckii) has a small head and a long, broad tail.

	Research in Zimbabwe
		Although there were many interesting potential projects on the ecology of lizards in Zimbabwe, opportunities for physiological research were limited; previous work of John Loveridge (Professor of Zoology) and others had been on animals much smaller (insects) or larger (crocodiles) than lizards.
		Some of these animals had been kept in a large outdoor enclosure for many years (indeed many of the leopard tortoises were captive bred).
		The mean prey mass was about 0.2% of body mass, which appears small but is in fact similar to that of many insectivorous lizards.

	3.2.2 Physical and mental health
		Maliehe (1993) list the scrub hare Lepus saxatilis; cape hare L. capensis, porcupine Hystrix africae australis, the polecat Ictonyx striatus and the pangolin Manis temminckii as animals whose body parts are used in traditional medicine in South Africa.
		The effectiveness of most of the medicines from wild animals/wild animal parts has not been scientifically studied and proven and their potency in many cases may be questionable.
		In some cases, it is easy to comprehend why people would believe in the curative powers of certain preparations e.g., the use of faecal pellets of herbivorous animals which feed on plant species that are known to have medicinal properties.

	The Cape pangolin (Manis temminckii, ietermago) \| Eats Ants & Termites
		The Cape pangolin (Manis temminckii, ietermago) is a strange-looking armourplated ant-eating mammal that few people have ever seen in the wild, and even fewer scientists have ever studied.
		In the course of following the pangolins at night, Jonathan saw many leopards, some of which seemed fascinated by his presence and followed him around, showing no signs of aggression.
		Jonathan is now looking at how much energy a pangolin expends in its daily life, by injecting animals with a small amount of radioactively labelled water, and then taking blood samples at regular intervals to see how fast the pangolins use up the hydrogen and oxygen in the water.

		Gestation is about 139 days, after which a single youngster is born in a burrow.
		After 2-4 weeks the youngster leaves the nest and is carried around on the mother's tail for many months.
		They start to feed themselves at 3 months of age, but continue with their mothers for much longer.

	Congo Stamps
		Many variations and curiosities are known; in principal they were all made for collectors.
		Apparently there was a man in Belgium named van Bierbeek (spelling?) who worked with the printers and made many variations and curiosities in the Belgium and Belgium colonies stamps.
		Although these overprints are deliberately manipulated are these stamps considered to be real and are listed in the O.C.B. As soon I have more information, I will put it on this website.

		SCIENTISTS at the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) have discovered a new mammal species in the Mahale Ecosystem called "Giant Pangolin" (Manis gigantea).
		The Giant Pangolin walks on all four legs and has a powerful and heavyset look to the front of its body.
		Other distinctive features are comparatively longer snout and the fact that it has many scales on its tail and body than the Ground Pangolin (Manis temminckii), hitherto the only Pangolins known in Tanzania.
