The correct answer is: All of the above.
Hoolock gibbons, sloth bears, and Indian pangolins are all found in Manipur’s forests.
Hoolock gibbons are apes that are native to Southeast Asia. They are the only ape species that is found in India. Hoolock gibbons are found in the forests of Manipur, as well as in other states in northeastern India. They are black or brown in color and have long, white hair on their heads. Hoolock gibbons are herbivores and eat leaves, fruits, and flowers. They are social animals and live in groups of up to 12 individuals.
Sloth bears are medium-sized bears that are found in the forests of India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. They are named for their slow, lumbering gait. Sloth bears are black or brown in color and have a long, shaggy coat. They have a distinctive V-shaped mark on their chest. Sloth bears are omnivores and eat insects, fruits, honey, and small mammals. They are solitary animals and live in dens in caves or hollow trees.
Indian pangolins are the smallest pangolin species in the world. They are found in the forests of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan. They are covered in thick, keratinous scales that protect them from predators. Indian pangolins are nocturnal animals and eat ants and termites. They are solitary animals and live in burrows in the ground.
All three of these mammals are important members of the Manipur ecosystem. They play a role in seed dispersal and pollination, and they are a food source for other animals. They are also popular tourist attractions. However, all three species are threatened by habitat loss and poaching. It is important to protect these animals and their habitats so that they can continue to play their important role in the Manipur ecosystem.
