Manis tricuspis is an arboreal species with a tail constituting over 

 half the total length. The characters of the tail tip and the fore limbs are 

 like those of Manis longicaudatus. The scales, however, are small and 

 numerous, brown, and during mid-life, tricuspid. The postscapulars are 

 not enlarged. The skull is broad-muzzled, and its zygomatic processes 

 are large and divergent.
