Green (forward) diagonal lines indicate the distribution of the Chinese pangolin (M. pentadactyla ) in Nepal, while blue (reverse) diagonal lines show the distribution of Indian pangolin (M. crassicaudata ) which overlaps with the southern range of the Chinese pangolin in Nepal. The green shading on the inset map shows the full distribution of the Chinese pangolin across Asia.
