Strangely, this particular species can be referred to by two scientific names: Manis temminckii and Smustia temminckii. The genus Smutsia is usually only a subgenus, however for this particular species and Smutsia gigantea, it can be considered a genus. For this website, I will be referring to the species as Manis temminckii, the way it is most commonly classified. The genus name Manis means hand in English because of the strong hands all pangolins have for digging. The specific epithet temminckii is named after a Dutch zoologist - Coenraad Jacob Temminck, who is pictured below.

This organism also has several different common names: the ground pangolin, the cape pangolin, and Temminck's pangolin. The ground pangolin got its common name "pangolin" from the Malay world "pengguling," meaning rolling up. This is because when threatened, the animal has the ability to roll into a tight, almost impenetrable ball.

Answer:

Pangolin, also called scaly anteater, any of the about eight species of armoured placental mammals of the order Pholidota. Pangolin, from the Malay meaning “rolling over,” refers to this animal's habit of curling into a ball when threatened.

-The ground pangolin is a member of the Eukarya because it has a true nucleus, linear DNA, and membrane bound organelles, characteristics that all eukaryotes exhibit.
