Hint:
Compared to other protected areas in India, Kaziranga has made tremendous gains in wildlife conservation. The park is located on the outskirts of a biodiversity hotspot in the eastern Himalayas and combines biodiversity with good visibility.

Complete step by step solution:
 Situated about 217 km from Guwahati, the world's largest population of Rhinoceros lives here. There are other animals and birds, but more attention is paid to protecting these animals. Kaziranga National park in Assam India is best known as the home of the Indian Rhinoceros, declared a world heritage site, by UNESCO in 1985. It covers an area of approx 430 sq. Kms. It is located on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River. On June 1, 1905, the forest reserve proposed by Kaziranga covered an area of 232 km. It is home to a large variety of wildlife such as gaur, deer, bison, wild boar, and different species of water birds. The animal kingdom of the sanctuary or the fauna is very rare. The wild elephants, another exotic animal of the region and often - found in herds number over 700 here. The mouse deer, the hog deer, a chinkara gazelle, bears, Leopard cat, leopards, wild boars, barking deer, and the gour are to be found here.

The riverine habitat consists primarily of dense tall grassland interspersed with open forests, interconnecting streams and numerous small flood- formed lakes or bheel with cover the same 5% of its area. The whole park is occasionally flooded for 5-10 days, and three- quarters of the western, Baguri area is annually submerged. The soils are alluvial. The wetlands are described by Scott.
