Tamanthi Wildlife Reserve
Tamanthi Wildlife Reserve is a wildlife reserve of Burma (Myanmar). It was established on April 11, 1974 on the eastern bank of the Chindwin River, across from the town of Tamanthi. It lies within the Hkamti District of Sagaing Region, and covers ,〔("National Parks and Nature Reserves" ) World Institute for Conservation and Environment (WICE), last accessed 12 October 2010〕 bounded between the Uyu and Chindwin rivers with of the area in Homalin Township, and in Hkamti Township.
The sanctuary is home to Indochinese tigers, Indian elephants, gaur (Asiatic bison), Indochinese leopards, serow, and bear. In all over 30 mammals are found there. Formerly it was the home of the Northern Sumatran rhinoceros (''Didermocherus Sumatrensis lasiotis'') and the Indian Javan rhinoceros (''Rhinoceros sondaicus inermis''), which seem to have become extinct in the area in the 1980s.〔Rabinowitz, Alan (2002) ("Ground Truthing Conservation: Why Biological Exploration Isn’t History" ) ''Conservation Magazine'' 3(4): pp. 20–25〕 In the past, it was a favourite ground for wild life hunters and poachers, because its remoteness had preserved a high biodiversity.〔 Folklore has the area as a home for were-tigers, who appear to hunters as beautiful young girls in the day time, only to become ravening beasts at night. Among the many birds found in the reserve are the white-winged wood duck (''Cairina scutulata'') and the masked finfoot (''Heliopais personata'').〔 Of note among the amphibians is an endangered species of roofed turtle which are found there.〔
