Question

The great one-horned Indian Rhino is found in _______.
(A) Corbett National Park
(B) Kanha National Park
(C) Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary
(D) Periyar Game Sanctuary

Answer 1

Hint: The Indian Rhinos are brownish-gray in color and hairless. They've got a knobby skin that seems to be armor-plated. A single horn sits on top of its snout, and its upper lip is semi-prehensile.

Complete step by step answer: Indian rhinoceros, also known as Indian rhinoceros, large single-horned rhinoceros, or large Indian rhinoceros, is a rhinoceros species native to the Indian subcontinent. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, as the population is fragmented and limited to less than 20,000 km2.
The Great Horned Rhino is commonly found in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, and Assam, India. It is confined to the high grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Indian Rhinoceros can run at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) for a short time and is also an excellent swimmer. It has an excellent sense of hearing and smell, but relatively poor eyesight. However, no more than 2,000 people remain in the wild, with only two populations containing more than 100 rhinos: the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India (1,200) and the Chitwan National Park (CNP), Nepal (600). Despite joint efforts between Bhutan and India, the survival of a small population of rhinos living along the Indo-Bhutan border in Manas remains questionable (Jnawali et., 2000).

Thus, the answer is option C: Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary

Note: More one-horned rhinoceroses are currently listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List with as few as 2700 left in the wild. India and Nepal have reinforced their opposition to poaching and have created protected parks and reserves that have helped to strengthen the population. Traditionally, rhinoceroses have been killed because some Asian cultures believe the horns have medicinal value.
