Macrognathus pavo, a species of eel-like fish included in The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, is only known to exist in the Kyeintali River in the Rakhine Yoma, Myanmar. It is only known from the headwaters of this river and is likely restricted to that basin. Macrognathus pavo was described in 2010 and further information is required on the species' habitat and ecology, as well as its population and distribution. It is currently assessed as Data Deficient.^[4][5]

The Kyeintali River Bridge on the Thandwe-Gwa Road in Rakhine State was inaugurated by the Minister for Progress of Border Areas and National Races and Development Affairs Lt-Gen. Maung Thint and SLORC Secretary-1 Lt-Gen. Khin Nyunt. (NLM 1/2)^[6]
