Mystery In The Woods: A Hidden Pangolin Revealed in India’s Hidden Corners Deep within the dense, remote forests of India—regions untouched by modern development—science is uncovering secrets no camera lens or tracker could have predicted. One such astonishment is the discovery of a hidden pangolin species, quietly tucked away in the mist-laden woods of the country’s hidden corners. Known colloquially as the Asian pangolin, this elusive mammal is finally stepping into the spotlight thanks to groundbreaking field research revealing its remarkable presence in parts of India previously considered too remote for such discoveries. ### The Enigmatic Pangolin: A Vital but Overlooked Guardian Pangolins—often called “scaly anteaters”—are among the world’s most enigmatic wildlife. With their armor-like scales, long sticky tongues, and secretive nature, they have fascinated biologists and conservationists alike. In India, while several pangolin species exist, including the critically endangered Chinese and Indian pangolins, recent evidence points to a lesser-known, possibly distinct population hidden in the country’s dense, ancestral forests.
