    Solution

    Scientists from the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) discovered a new species, the Indo-Burmese pangolin, in Arunachal Pradesh. This species is genetically distinct from the Chinese and Indian pangolins, and its discovery is crucial for biodiversity conservation efforts, especially given the high level of poaching and habitat loss that pangolins face globally.
