Manis (orangutan)
his article is incomplete. This article does not cite sufficient and reliable sources. Expired links should be removed.'' Manis was a trained orangutan that played Clyde as Clint Eastwood's sidekick in the 1978 box office hit ''Every Which Way But Loose''. Its 1980 sequel, ''Any Which Way You Can'' (1980), did not feature Manis, as the "child actor" had grown too much between productions. In the sequel, two orangutans, C.J. and Buddha, shared the role. In a documentary produced by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), it was alleged that Manis was beaten on the set by his trainer to keep him docile. The trainer would spray mace in his face and then beat him with an iron pipe wrapped in newspaper. The source for this information was ''Visions of Caliban'', a book by Dale Peterson and Jane Goodall, but Peterson and Goodall actually refer not to Manis but to Buddha, the orangutan used in the second film (which the book mistakenly calls ''Every Which Way You Can'', r ...

Manis Palaeojavanica
Giant asian pangolin (''Manis palaeojavanica'' ancient Javan pangolin", is an extinct species of pangolin (from genus ''Manis'') that was native to Asia. In 1926, E. Dubois described the bones of ''M. palaeojavanica'' discovered in Java. Later, Lord Medway excavated another set of bones at the Niah Caves in Malaysia. In 1960, D. A. Hoojier identified these bones as that of an extinct species. Using carbon dating, the Niah Caves bones were determined to be 42,000–47,000 years old. ''M. palaeojavanica'' is one of the only known fossils to be found nearly complete of the pangolin species, due to their armour-like scales that protected their bodies when they were alive.
