Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary provides habitat for over 30
mammals including
Asian elephant (
Elephas maximus),
gaur (
Bos gaurus),
mainland serow (
Capricornis milneedwardsii),
Asiatic black bear (
Ursus thibetanus) and
Indochinese leopard (
Panthera pardus delacouri). Formerly it was also home of the
Northern Sumatran rhinoceros (
Didermocherus sumatrensis lasiotis) and the
Javan rhinoceros (
Rhinoceros sondaicus), which have become extinct in the area in the 1980s, though some reports suggest that the former still persists in the park.
Tiger (
Panthera tigris),
clouded leopard (
Neofelis nebulosa),
Asiatic golden cat (
Catopuma temminckii),
leopard cat (
Prionailurus bengalensis),
large Indian civet (
Viverra zibetha),
hog badger (
Arctonyx collaris),
Asian palm civet (
Paradoxurus hermaphroditus),
binturong (
Arctictis binturong),
masked palm civet (
Paguma larvata) were recorded during a
camera trap survey in 1999. The clouded leopard and marbled cat populations were studied more detailed between December 2014 and March 2016. An
Asian water monitor (
Varanus salvator) was recorded in 2016 along one of the streams flowing through the sanctuary. Among the many birds found in the reserve are the
white-winged duck (
Asarcornis scutulata) and the
masked finfoot (
Heliopais personatus). ==References==
