The article has the genus Manis split between two subfamilies. Someone who knows more about pangolins than I do needs to fix this. -- Suttkus 16:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

The tree pangolin is of central importance to the Lele people. Perhaps something on this could be included? See Animals in Lele Religious Symbolism in Implicit Meanings by Mary Douglas for details. 81.168.46.55 17:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Someone stated that the population of Pangolins has doubled in the past four months in the "Threats" section. They even included a reference link. First of all, the history shows that the statement has been there since at least April, so is it four months or ten months? But it doesn't make any difference because the statement is completely bogus. The reference link mentions pangolins, but it doesn't say anything about their population doubling. I'd fix it, but everything I know about pangolins was what I learned on Wikipedia in the last 5 minutes. So, hopefully a pangolin expert will fix this.
And what's the deal with the bloody Chinese, anyway? Is there any endangered species that they don't eat? Martylunsford 00:50, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Pangolin were called "nkaka" in the southern and central areas of the Bandundu region of the D.R.C. I ate them several times. Their meat is in a word...fantastic. After hearing that their populations are under pressure from over harvesting, I felt kind of bad for enjoying the meat so much. JoeArc 24 May 2007

This article states that they are only in captivity in two places. Someone should check up on that. Maybe I will. -David — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.168.129.124 ( talk) 19:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I've found a baby Giant Pangolin, apparently there have only been two recorded births, and they are on the scarce side. i do not know what to feed it and would greatly appreciate info posted on there diets as babies. I'm in the tropical forests of Liberia and there are no vets or wild life conservations here. i cannot let it go as i have already bought it from a guy who was planning on eating it, there are no laws against killing and eating any animals of any sort here, it would be cought and killed in under 15 minutes. post any helpful links or advice on my page.

The Pangolin page in the Catalan edition has an image of a Coat of pangolin scales. Would that be something to include here? -- Cavalaxis ( talk) 02:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the taxonomy section it looks like this should be split into at least, order, family and genus level articles, as there are a number of taxa at each level that are not talked about at all now, as the article is basically a genus level one right now.-- Kevmin ( talk) 20:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, as an English class project, I have added a bit more information to the lead section as well as some links to other related Wikipedia pages. Acaill6 ( talk) 16:44, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow editors, I recently added a section on the issues faced by Pangolins being raised in captivity as well as adding several new citations and edits for grammar and flow into the article. If you see any issues with it, feel free to contact me. Falgaia ( talk) 21:39, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
The following was only in the lead, and not in the body, and not sourced anywhere. Moving here per WP:PRESERVE. well-sourced content on etymology would be great.
The name pangolin comes from the Malay word "pengguling", citation needed dubious – discuss meaning "something that rolls up". Other sources posits that it probably comes from the Serer word pangool (saints and/ancestral spirits). It is found in tropical regions throughout Africa and Asia.

If females seek out males, how do the fights between males over females happen? The citation link is broken/dead. 86.139.252.193 ( talk) 12:49, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
According to Maria Diekmann, who is one of the few people who raised and cared for Pangolins, they are not nocturnal. She says most of the on-line information is incorrect. This was mentioned on the PBS Nature episode on Pangolins. BruceBarnett ( talk) 16:00, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
While I was checking the "View history" area, I noticed apparent vandalism that Cluebot NG hadn't found yet. It said things like "Pangolins are ugly". The template was stated as "Automatic taboxxxxxxxx". I reverted the changes and resumed researching. However, they had suddenly popped up on the article. I manually deleted these, but when I was forced to delete the template, all of the citations and other stuff that's hidden in the article suddenly came. If I undo the changes, the vandalism will come back. I can't leave this like it is. Can anyone help me? Nomnom121
Ok, I don’t doubt that this is the proper scientific name, but really. Most people have trouble getting beyond corinavirus to COVID19, let alone SARS coronavirus 2 vector. Is it really necessary to use this term A as the section title and B so many times in the text? Let’s keep it understandable and readable and, therefore, usable, eh?

There is no mention in the article of the natural lifespan of Pangolins. 98.97.8.243 ( talk) 17:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
This article for pangolins state that:
"Pangolins have large, protective keratin scales, similar in material to fingernails and toenails, covering their skin; they are the only known mammals with this feature"
Yet, in the Armadillo's page, this is said (section Characteristics, subsection skin):
"The armor is formed by plates of dermal bone covered in relatively small overlapping epidermal scales called "scutes" which are composed of keratin"
Wouldn't it be more correct to say, then, "the Armadillo is one of two only mammals" e.g. in lieu of saying it's the only mammal? MedAnisMessaoudi ( talk) 00:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
