The Burmese roofed turtle (Batagur trivittata) is one of six species of turtle in the genus Batagur of the family Geoemydidae.[2] It is endemic to Myanmar, but was believed to be extinct until rediscovered in 2002.[4] It remains very rare in the wild (only 5 females are known to exist in the wild), but a conservation project has been successful and several hundred are now kept in the Yadanabon Zoological Gardens in Mandalay and a turtle conservation center in Lawkananda Park, Bagan.[4][5]

An individual was seen in 2007 in Qingping Market in Guangzhou, China.[6]
