M. tricuspis
The white-bellied pangolin is a mammal with a body covered in strong scales. It lives in trees in the forests of Africa, catches insects with a long tongue and uses its tail for climbing.
The white-bellied pangolin differs from terrestrial pangolins in its arboreal way of life, prehensile tail and white color of the belly. It is important for forests because it restrains the reproduction of ants and termites.
