Describe the main features of wildlife in India.

Answer 1

India boasts a variety of species and organisms.[1] Apart from a handful of the major farm animals such as cows, buffaloes, goats, chickens, and camels, India has an amazingly wide spectrum of animals native to the country. It is home to Bengal and Indochinese tigers,[2][3] Indian lions,[4] deer, pythons, wolves, foxes, bears, crocodiles, wild dogs, monkeys, snakes, antelope species, varieties of bison and the Asian elephant. The region's rich and diverse wildlife is preserved in 120+ national parks, 18 Bio-reserves and 500+ wildlife sanctuaries across the country. India has some of the most biodiverse regions of the world and hosts four of the world’s 35 biodiversity hotspots – or treasure-houses – that is the Western Ghats, the Eastern Himalayas, Indo-Burma and Nicobar islands in Sundaland.[5] Since India is home to a number of rare and threatened animal species, wildlife management in the country is essential to preserve these species.[6] India is one of the seventeen megadiverse countries. According to one study, India along with other 16 mega diverse countries is home to about 60-70% of the world's biodiversity.[7] India, lying within the Indomalaya ecozone, is home to about 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of avian (bird), 6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering plant species.[8]
