Husbandry of pangolins Manis spp
Abstract
There are seven species of pangolins in the Order Pholidota. To date there has been limited success in maintaining these animals in captivity and because of differences in size, behaviour and morphology it has been difficult to determine minimum husbandry requirements. Little is known about the biology of pangolins and there is a dearth of population information that can be used to evaluate their conservation status. This paper presents several general guidelines from some of the available published Information.

Pangolins do not survive well in captivity.
“Wilson (1994) reported that pangolins do not survive well in captivity and can suffer 71% mortality in the first year of captivity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
