The Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica) is an endangered animal that specializes in myrmecophagy. Intestinal flora are closely related to animal diets, including the number and composition of different microbial species and their status, and these factors also affect the physical condition of the host. Therefore, establishing knowledge of the intestinal microbiome of the pangolin is imperative to better protect this species.
