The Kaziranga National Park is famous for which animal?
Answer: C
Correct answer: The one-horned rhinoceros
Kaziranga, in Assam on the Brahmaputra floodplain, holds about two thirds of the world’s population of the one-horned rhinoceros. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and also a tiger reserve, with one of the highest tiger densities anywhere. Its tall elephant grass and seasonal flooding suit the rhinoceros exactly, and the annual Brahmaputra floods renew the grassland while forcing the animals to higher ground - a natural cycle that also exposes them to poaching and to road traffic. The other three species have their own strongholds, and the set is a standard examination pairing. The Asiatic lion survives only in the Gir Forest of Gujarat. The snow leopard lives in the high Himalaya of Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, with Hemis National Park its best-known refuge. The Nilgiri tahr, a mountain goat, is confined to the Western Ghats, chiefly in Eravikulam National Park in Kerala.
