The Indian peninsula is a continent in itself, whose geographical
diversity has encouraged the flourishing of a whole range
of wildlife with over 350 species of mammals and 1200 species
of birds in the country.
While there is an overlap in the habitats of many species,
each region has something special to offer – the hangul
is restricted to the valley of Kashmir in northern India,
the rhino is found in North-East states of India and in
the pockets along the Brahmaputra river, the black langur
is found in the Western part which is also the home of the
remaining Asiatic Lions. Two of India’s most impressive
animals, the Bengal Tigers and the Asiatic Elephants are
found in most regions.
A herd of elephants in the wild is a breathtaking sight.
These huge mammals are respected by all animals, including
the Tiger. Widely distributed throughout India, the Indian
Elephant is slightly smaller than its African counterpart.
Today, most of India’s wildlife finds refuge in over
two hundred sanctuaries and parks around the country……….
