Maniology

Maniology is the study of manis, especially in relation to their biology, behavior, and taxonomy. Maniology is generally separate from the study of the relationship between manis and humans. A person who studies maniology is known as a maniologist.

Maniology is a typical career choice for retired mani tamers who nonetheless maintain an interest in manis.

A majority of professional maniologists are directly affiliated with the Mani Taming Association. There are also independent maniologists, but they lack the resources and privileges available to those with a license from the MTA. In Corona, where the MTA has no jurisdiction, maniologists usually belong to organized groups.

Frequently, maniologists are either elected to MTA boards or work in MTA centers. Researchers will often publish their work in journals or online.
