Kachuga (Pangshura) trivitata Gurley, 2003 (ex errore)
The Burmese roofed turtle (Batagur trivittata) is one of six species of turtle in the genus Batagur of the Geoemydidae family.[1] It is endemic to Myanmar, but was believed to be extinct until rediscovered in 2002.[3] It remains very rare in the wild, but a conservation project has been successful and several hundreds are now kept in the Yadanabon Zoological Gardens in Mandalay and a turtle conservation center in Lawkananda Park, Bagan.[3]
An individual was seen in 2007 in Qingping Market in Guangzhou, China.[4]
