Kachin Red-backed Vole

It is found in Kachin State in northern Burma Myanmar, ; UK pronunciations: US pronunciations incl. . Note: Wikipedia's IPA conventions require indicating /r/ even in British English although only some British English speakers pronounce r at the end of syllables. As John Wells explai .... Although described as a species by Thomas in 1921, it was subsequently included as a subspecies of either '' E. melanogaster'' or '' E. miletus''. Comparisons of a 1941 sampling showed that ''E. cachinus'' was indeed a separate species. Adults of the species are large-bodied, with longer tails than any other member of the genus ''Eothenomys'' (between 43 and 61mm) and thick, soft and long fur, the upper parts being brown and the lower parts grey. Compared to ''E. miletus'' the skull is shorter and not as wide, with a significantly lower profile. References * Wilson & Reeder's Mammal ...

Lethwei
Lethwei ( my, လက်ဝှေ့; IPA: ) or Burmese boxing, is a full contact combat sport from Myanmar that uses stand-up striking including headbutts. Lethwei is considered to be one of the most brutal martial arts in the world, * * * as the sport is practiced bareknuckle with only tape and gauze while fighters are allowed to strike with their fists, elbows, knees, and feet, and the use of headbutts is also permitted. Disallowed in most combat sports, headbutts are important weapons in a Lethwei fighter's arsenal, giving Lethwei its name of The Art of 9 Limbs, and deemed one of the bloodiest martial arts. A vast majority of Lethwei fighters originate from the Karen ethnicity. History The traditional martial arts of Myanmar are regrouped under the term called Thaing which includes bando, banshay, naban, shan gyi and Lethwei.

The Kachin conflict or the Kachin War is one of the multiple conflicts which are collectively referred to as the internal conflict in Myanmar. Kachin insurgents have been fighting against the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces) since 1961, with only one major ceasefire being brokered between them, which lasted from 1994 to 2011, a total of 17 years.
