The majestic gaur or
mithun, elephant, Himalayan black bear, takin, the wild goat peculiar to the Patkoi range, musk deer, slow
loris,
binturong and the red panda are all found here.
The predatos include ate tiger,
leopard, the rare snow leopard and clouded leopard in the higher reaches of the
hills. A number of primate species are to be seen in the Park, such as the
Assamese macaque, pig-tailed macaque, stumptailed macaque and the distinctive
hoolock gibbon.
Hornbills, jungle fowl and pheasants flap their noisy way through
the jungle, which harbours other colourful bird species. The inaccessibility of
the greater part of the Park has helped to keep the forests in their pristine
state. This is also a Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger.
