Myanmar's Wildlife

Commonly found in Myanmar's jungles are tigers and leopards. In Upper Myanmar's highlands, the elephant, rhinoceros, wild buffalo, wild boar can be found as well as many species of deer and antelope. As forests cover over 40 percent of Myanmar, it's not surprising there are animals that live and thrive in them.

Some of Myanmar's smaller animals make the forests (trees) their home, one such animal is the gibbon, which is a small species of ape that lives in trees. Other small animals to be found in Myanmar are several monkey species, the flying fox, the wildcat and the tapir.

Some of the common reptiles in Myanmar include the crocodiles, pythons, cobras, geckos and turtles. Bird varieties are many as well, with the exotic parrot being among them. Other birds found include crows, pheasants, peafowl and paddybirds.
