Abstract

Haematological and serum biochemical values of a sick, adult female Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) were determined. Results obtained showed a higher total leukocyte count, low haemoglobin value and erythrocyte count in comparison to haematological values reported on other pangolin species. The study also determined cytomorphomentric values for erythrocytes and leukocytes. The present paper also described red cell polymorphism in Indian pangolin.
