Characteristics, location, and usage patterns of resting burrows in Chinese pangolins: Insights from radio-telemetry tracking by Nick Ching-Min Sun, Jing-Shiun Lin, Kurtis Jai‑Chyi Pei

“…To conclude the findings:1) burrow count, while useful for identifying pangolin presence, is not a suitable quantitative indicator of population density. 2) Most resting burrows had compacted soil at the entrance, which could be mistaken for old or inactive burrows in other studies. 3) Resting burrows function as permanent structures that are reused across seasons instead of seasonal adaptations. 4) Preserving low-disturbance habitats will be critical for ensuring sufficient resting burrow sites, thereby supporting the long-term viability of pangolin populations. …”
