Ques. 1AIPMT 2006

Which one of the following is the correctly matched pair of an endangered animal and a National Park ?

  1. Wild Ass – Dudhwa National Park
  2. Lion – Corbett National Park
  3. Great Indian Bustard – Keoladeo National Park
  4. Rhinoceros – Kaziranga National Park

Answer

(4) Rhinoceros – Kaziranga National Park

Solution

Kaziranga National Park (Assam) is famous for the one-horned rhinoceros, so this pair is correct.

The others do not match: the Asiatic wild ass lives in the Wild Ass Sanctuary, Little Rann of Kutch (Dudhwa is known for swamp deer and tigers); the Asiatic lion lives in Gir National Park (Corbett is known for tigers); and the Great Indian Bustard lives in the grasslands of Rajasthan (Desert National Park), while Keoladeo is known for migratory water birds such as the Siberian crane.

∴ Rhinoceros – Kaziranga National Park is correctly matched.
