Indian Wildlife
The National Bird of India
• The national bird of India
  is a peacock. It is the
  national bird of India
  because of their long
  majestic tails, the female
  peacock does not have
  as majestic a tail as a
  male peacock. The male
  peacock has many
  feathers that look like
  eyes to prevent getting
  damaged or killed.
The National Animal of India
• The national animal of India is a tiger. The
  tiger is the national animal of India
  because of their majestic ways. Tigers
  aren’t always black & orange they are
  normally white & black in very, very cold
  places, normally they are very hard to see.
Snow Leopard
• The Snow Leopard is white or smokey
  -gray with yellow and black patterns on the
  fur. The Snow Leopard's large paws and
  long hind limbs give them agility in the
  snow and mountains, and a well-
  developed chest help adapt to mountain
  air.
The Elephant
• Elephants are intelligent herbivore animals
  that live in family groups. The Indian (or
  Asian) elephant is smaller than the
  African, but it is still huge. Only some of
  the males have tusks. Their trunks are
  used to get water and food, as well as for
  breathing.
  One of the major threats to the Indian
  elephant is a destruction of its habitat by
  humans.
The Lion
• The Asiatic lion, in India, is now found in
  only one pocket located in the Gir National
  Park of the state of Gujarat. Their main pr
  ey species consist of Nilgai, Chital, Sambh
  ar, Goats, Buffaloes and occasionally also
  other smaller animals. The lions of Gir hav
  e made it a habit of killing livestock and so
  metimes even camels.
The Sambar Deer
• The Sambar Deer is the most widely
  spread deer species in the world, covering
  many countries in the Asian continent. It is
  also one of the larger members of the
  deer family. Their population is large and
  spread to almost every corner of India.
  They do not appear on the endangered list
  . The specimens found in central India
  appear to be larger than those found in
  other regions.
The Blue Bulls
• Blue bulls, despite their constant conflict
  with villagers across almost every part of
  India, are still present in large numbers.
  Even though they might be quite
  commonly seen, a good size male
  presents quite an awesome picture.
The Indian Gazelle
• This is the smallest asiatic antelope. Most
  males have very short horns, although
  some grow to a length of 25 - 30cms.
  These gazelles are found mostly in open
  woodlands and scrublands. Their numbers
  have dwindled to a large extent and they
  feature on the endangered list.
Recent extinctions
• Illustration of a Himalayan Quail from A. O. Hume's
  work. Last seen in 1876
• The exploitation of land and forest resources by humans
  along with hunting and trapping for food and sport has
  led to the extinction of many species in India in recent
  times. These species include mammals such as the
  Indian / Asiatic Cheetah, Javan
  Rhinoceros and Sumatran Rhinoceros.[14] While some of
  these large mammal species are confirmed extinct, there
  have been many smaller animal and plant species
  whose status is harder to determine.

• Kangchenjunga
• Manas
• Nanda Devi
• The Nilgiris
• Nokrek
• Pachmarhi
• Simlipal
• Sundarbans
Flora Of India
• The Flora of India is one of the richest of the
  world due to a wide range of climate, topography
  and environments in the country.With about
  47000 species of plant species, it occupies tenth
  place in the world and fourth in Asia. It is thought
  there are over 15000 species of flowers in
  India,which account for 6 percent of the total
  plant species in the world.[1] and probably many
  more species. Whilst the list comprises
  indigenous types, others have been introduced
  to India and may be included.
Fauna
• India is home to several well known large
  mammals including the Asian Elephant, Bengal
  Tiger, Asiatic Lion, Leopard, Sloth
  Bear and Indian Rhinoceros, often engrained
  culturally and religiously often being associated
  with deities. Other well known large Indian
  mammals include ungulates such as the
  rare Wild Asian Water buffalo,
  common Domestic Asian Water
  buffalo, Nilgai, Gaur and several species of deer
  and antelope.
