Manis paleojavanica
Manis paleojavanica, the Asian giant pangolin, is an extinct species of pangolin (genus Manis) native to Asia. In 1926, E. Dubois described the bones of M. paleojavanica discovered in Java. Later, Lord Medway excavated another set of bones at the Niah Caves in Malaysia. In 1960, D. A. Hoojier identified these bones as that of an extinct species. Using carbon dating, the Niah Caves bones were determined to be 42,000-47,000 years old.
