Explanation:
The Nilgiri tahr (Nilgiritragus hylocrius) is an ungulate that is endemic to the Nilgiri Hills and the southern portion of the Western & Eastern Ghats in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in Southern India. It is the state animal of Tamil Nadu.[2] Despite its local name, it is more closely related to the sheep of the genus Ovis than the ibex and wild goats of the genus Capra.
Asiatic lions (pronounced ay-zhee-AT-ick) are a small group of lions that live in one forest in India. They got their name because they live on the continent of Asia. Asiatic lions are a little smaller than the lions that live in Africa and the biggest males only get to be a little over 400 pounds
