Tigerpython
The faunal study by UNDP covered the herpetofaunal group. 14 species of amphibians and reptiles have been recorded here; the list includes Indian python ("Python molurus") an endangered species, Indian flap-shelled turtle ("Lissemys punctata") of vulnerable category and muggar ("Crocodylus palustris") and "Varanus" ("Varanus bengalensis") of endangered category. Threats faced by these species have been noted as water shortage, traffic, and hunting by snake charmers.
