It occurs in a variety of habitats including subtropical, deciduous forests and grasslands. This species is nocturnal and secretive, occurs solitary or in pairs. It lives on ground and in burrows, rarely climbs trees. This Pangolin mainly feeds on insects, particularly termites and ants, besides on various other invertebrates including bee larvae, flies, worms, earthworms and crickets. It digs into ant nests and termite mounds with its large fore claws and extract the prey with its long, sticky tongue. It often coils itself for protection and usually remains silent but rarely utters hisses when alarmed. It breeds during February to July and gives birth to a single young (Challender et al. 2014).

M. javanica can be found in a variety of habitats including forests, thick brush, grasslands, and cultivated areas such as gardens and rubber plantations (CITES 2000). It is primarily nocturnal, solitary and especially feeds on ants and termites. It is a good climber, its prehensile tail adept it well in climbing in trees to get access to termites and ants in tree holes.

At present it only occurs in the mixed evergreen forests of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. It is a burrow-dwelling species, solitary in nature except during mating season when adult male and female share the same burrow and baby follows the mother for an appreciable period. It is predominantly terrestrial but also has the ability for climbing up with its prehensile tail and sharp claws. When threatened, more often it curls its body tucking the only scale-less soft snout under the belly and virtually becoming a ball that not even a leopard can crack open (Khan 1987). The species is capable of emitting foul smelling fluid through its anal gland to deter the predator. The pangolin is insectivorous, feeds mainly on termites, ants and their eggs and often on beetles, cockroaches and worms. Usually breeds in January, March, July and November. Gestation period lasts between 65 to 70 days. Females give birth to a single young, however, occasionally two can be produced (http://www.pangolinsg.org/pangolins/indian-pangolin/).

It is nocturnal and shy, usually found active during dawn and dusk. Herbivorous and consumes a variety of vegetations. Like other hares it is caprophagic. Female gives birth to 1-4 young at a time (Khan 1996, Kamruzzaman 2009).

This species is nocturnal and slow moving animal. Herbivorous and feeds on grasses, leaves, shoots, barks and fruits. Litter size varies from 1 to few more young at a time (Kamruzzaman 2009). It inhabits scrubs and Sal forests, grasslands and edge of the foot hills (Khan 1985).

No information on its habitat is available. However, it is nocturnal, roosts in colonies of a few to thousands of individuals in other parts of its range (Csorba et al. 2008). This species is known to occur in a wide variety of forest habitats in tropical regions, and has additionally been recorded from urban areas. It is found in hilly areas and roosts in caves, old dilapidated buildings, old forts, temples, old disused mines and tunnels (Csorba et al. 2008).

No information is available from Bangladesh. However, this species is known to be found in varied habitats from arid areas to humid zones. Nocturnal, roosts in colonies from single animals to hundreds of bats. It is an early and fast flyer bat. Feeds on insects. There are two known breeding seasons, one in mid-January and the other in mid-May (Bates et al. 2008).
