Habitat
Habitat details as listed in assessment
This species occurs in denuded mixed evergreen tropical and subtropical and broad-leafed forests. It is active at night and sleeps in tree-holes or a shady place of a tree during daytime. It glides from tree to tree in search of food. Feeds on fruits, seeds, barks, sap and resin, and tender leaves and shoots. When asleep it puts its head under the body just like Bengal Slow Loris. It breeds during the rainy season and lays one young in a tree-hollow.

Taxonomic Notes
Petaurista petaurista possibly represents a complex of several similar species. Further studies are needed to clarify the taxonomic status.
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
It is native to Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India and Nepal (Molur 2010). Widely distributed in and around mixed evergreen forests in the southeast and northeast of Bangladesh.

Assessment rationale/justification
The species is widely distributed in the mixed evergreen forests in the southeast and northeast of Bangladesh. It is rare and difficult to see, because of its nocturnal and arboreal habits (Khan 1996). The population is presumably declining due to habitat loss and habitat degradation. Therefore, it has categorized as a Near Threatened species.

This dolphin inhabits coastal, pelagic and marine waters of the Bay of Bengal. Very social and occurred up to 200 animals in one group. Forage over reefs or soft bottom substrata and near the shore. It moves from coastal water to the deep marine water and vice versa. Mostly breeds during December to March.

Taxonomic Notes
Based on concordance in genetics, osteology, and external morphology, Tursiops aduncus is reported as taxonomically distinct (Wang et al. 1999, 2000 a, b).
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
The distribution of Tursiops aduncus is patchy, widespread along the eastern coast of Africa, through the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, eastwards as far as Taiwan and southeastward to coastal waters of Australia (Curry and Smith 1997, Möller and Beheregaray 2001, Wells and Scott 2002, Culik 2011). It is restricted to the Swatch of No-ground, offshore and near shore marine habitats in the Bay of Bengal.

Assessment rationale/justification
A population of 2,239 individuals of Tursiops aduncus has been estimated by Mansur et al. 2011 in the northern tip of Swatch of No-ground in the Bay of Bengal and there were also few sightings recorded outside of Swtach of No ground in the Bay of Bengal. Both the Extent of Occurrence and Area of Occupancy were much larger than the thresholds level of threatened categories. Moreover, no decline in the species population was found. Thus, it has been categorized as Least Concern.

The species is mostly found in freshwater affected coastal waters and waterways of the Sundarbans in a large range. The Extent of Occurrence and the Area of Occupancy of this species is much higher than the threshold level. The population size is 451 individuals (3.4% calves) in the Sundarbans (Smith et al. 2006) and 5,383 individuals in coastal waters in the Bay of Bengal (Smith et al. 2008). It does not fulfill any of the criteria to qualify threatened categories but based on its existing threats, it has been categorized as Near Threatened.
