Gayal

                                                      Gayal






















There are two major hypotheses on the origin of the gayal:
To date, neither hypothesis has been proven conclusively.
The gayal differs in several important particulars from the gaur:
  • It is somewhat smaller, with proportionately shorter limbs, and stands much lower at the withers.
  • The ridge on the back is less developed, and bulls have a larger dewlap on the throat.
  • The head is shorter and broader, with a perfectly flat forehead and a straight line between the bases of the horns.
  • The thick and massive horns are less flattened and much less curved than in the gaur, extending almost directly outwards from the sides of the head, and curving somewhat upwards at the tips, but without any inward inclination. Their extremities are thus much farther apart than in the gaur.
  • The female gayal is much smaller than the bull and has scarcely any dewlap on the throat.
  • The skin color of the head and body is blackish-brown in both sexes, and the lower portion of the limbs are white or yellowish.
  • The horns are of uniform blackish tint from base to tip.

Clouded leopard

                                                                      Clouded leopard


















The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is a wildcat occurring from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China. Since 2008, it is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Its total population is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults.[2] It is also known as the mainland clouded leopard, to distinguish it from the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi). It is the state animal of the Indian state of Meghalaya.

Sangai

                                                                  Sangai


















The sangai is an endemic and endangered subspecies of brow-antlered deer found only in Manipur, India. It is also the state animal of Manipur. Its common English name is Manipur brow-antlered deer or Eld's deer and the scientific name is Rucervus eldii eldii.[1] Its original natural habitat is the floating marshy grasslands of the Keibul Lamjao National Park, located in the southern parts of the Loktak Lake, which is the largest freshwater lake in eastern India.

The film The Return of Sangai (Manipuri Film: Sangai Hallakpa ) made by the Manipur Forest Department[3] gives a deep insight of Sangai and Keibul Lamjao National Parkhttps://youtu.be/asWqRWBKpxg

Indian giant squirrel

                                                               Indian giant squirrel





















The Indian giant squirrel is an upper-canopy dwelling species, which rarely leaves the trees, and requires "tall profusely branched trees for the construction of nests." It travels from tree to tree with jumps of up to 6 m (20 ft). When in danger, the Ratufa indica often freezes or flattens itself against the tree trunk, instead of fleeing. Its main predators are the birds of prey and the leopard. The Giant Squirrel is mostly active in the early hours of the morning and in the evening, resting in the midday. They are typically solitary animals that only come together for breeding. The species is believed to play a substantial role in shaping the ecosystem of its habitat by engaging in seed dispersal. Diet includes fruit, flowers, nuts and tree bark. Some subspecies are omnivorous, also eating insects and bird eggs.

Barasingha

                                                                     Barasingha




















The barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii syn. Cervus duvaucelii), also called swamp deer, is a deer species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Populations in northern and central India are fragmented, and two isolated populations occur in southwestern Nepal. It is extinct in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The specific name commemorates the French naturalist Alfred Duvaucel.
The swamp deer differs from all the Indian deer species in that the antlers carry more than three times. Because of this distinctive character, it is designated barasingha, meaning "twelve-tined."[4] Mature stags have 10 to 14 times, and some have been known to have up to 20.

Indian elephant

                                                               Indian elephant






















The largest Indian elephant was 3.43 meters (11.3 ft) high at the shoulder. In 1985, two large elephant bulls were spotted for the first time in Bardia National Park and named Raja Gaj and Kanchha. They roamed the park area together and made occasional visits to the females. Raja Gaj stood 11 ft 3 in (3.43 m) tall at the shoulder and had a massive body weight. His appearance has been compared to that of a Stegodon and mammoth due to his high bi-domed shaped head. His forehead and domes were more prominent than in other Asian bull elephants.

Kashmir stag

                                                           Kashmir stag





















The Kashmir stag (Cervus Canadensis hangul), also called hangul, is a subspecies of elk native to India. It is found in dense riverine forests in the high valleys and mountains of the Kashmir Valley and northern Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh. In Kashmir, it's found in the Dachigam National Park where it receives protection but elsewhere it is more at risk. In the 1940s, the population was between 3000 and 5000 individuals, but since then habitat destruction, over-grazing by domestic livestock and poaching have reduced population dramatically. Earlier believed to be a subspecies of red deer (Cervus elaphus), a number of mitochondrial DNA genetic studies have revealed that the hangul is part of the Asian clade of the elk (Cervus canadensis). The IUCN, however, includes it in the new grouping of Central Asian red deer (Cervus hangul), with the Kashmir stag being the type subspecies (Cervus hangul).
