Publications on Pangolin / Malayan Pangolin

While searching for information about the Pangolin, I came across different published journals, articles on websites and many more. All information mostly talks about the critical issues which are related to the illegal trade of these animals. This is especially with the article on the websites. Here are the lists of the articles that I found on websites that might be helpful to you.  

1. Britannica - pangolin  | pangolin, or scaly anteater, Any of about eight species of armoured placental mammals (genus Manis, order Pholidota) of tropical Asia and Africa. Scales formed of cemented hairs cover the upper body, legs, and tail. Pangolins are 2–6 ft (60–180 cm) long and weigh 10–60 lb (5–27 kg). They have a conical head, no teeth, a long tongue, short legs, and a long prehensile tail. Some are arboreal; terrestrial species live in burrows. Nocturnal animals and pangolins locate prey, mainly termites, by smell and rip open nests with their front claws. When threatened, the pangolin (Malayan for “rolling over”) curls up or emits an odoriferous secretion. See also anteater; echidna.
2. Wiki.nus - Manis javanica - Malayan pangolin | The Malayan Pangolin is a unique animal that instinctively appears to be a reptile due to its conspicuous scales covering most of the animal's body surface. This mammal lives on a diet of ants and termites and rolls into a ball of hard scales when provoked. Sadly, this interesting animal is currently endangered, with hunting for its meat, skin and scales as a driver of its massive population decline. While wild populations of Malayan Pangolins still exist in Singapore's forested areas, their numbers continue to decline due to habitat loss and vehicular accidents.
3. Save Pangolins - What is a pangolin? | Pangolins are uniquely covered in tough, overlapping scales. These mammals eat ants and termites using an extraordinarily long, sticky tongue and can quickly roll themselves up into a tight ball when they feel threatened. Eight different pangolin species can be found across Asia and Africa. Poaching for illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss have made these incredible creatures one of the most threatened groups of mammals in the world. 
4. Ecology Asia - Sunda Pangolin | The Sunda Pangolin, also known as the Malayan or Javan Pangolin, is a curious, unmistakable inhabitant of Southeast Asia's forested habitats (primary, secondary, scrub forest) and plantations (rubber, palm oil).
5. Discover Wildlife - Pangolin guide | In our expert pangolin guide, learn about the world's only scaled mammal, how many species there are, and why they are threatened with extinction.
6. DrawInScience - Pangolin | Pangolins are peculiar and beautiful animals, we could even think they come from an imaginary world, but they are real. They are the only mammals covered by overlapping scales (made from keratin — the same protein that forms human hair and fingernails). They are toothless, have poor vision, and have an acute olfactory system.

This is an interesting piece of information that I think might help your understanding of these heavily trafficked animals.
