Exploring rare species in India

 With more than 400 wildlife sanctuaries and 80 national parks, India is a great destination for anyone who wants to explore different forms of wildlife, trees, plants and even some rare species. From panthers to tigers, elephants to rhinos, leopards, sloth bears, birds, monkeys, red pandas and more. From the smallest of creatures to the largest, you can have an unforgettable time. Enjoy the sound and sight of a majestic royal Bengali tiger prowling through its territory, explore the Indian Cobra, learn about the amazing Asiatic Lion and see, in person, a Great One Horned Rhinoceros.

Four rare species to explore

There are a lot of protected and endangered species that live in these national parks and sanctuaries around India. Everything you can do to help them, learn about them, donate to their protection and to protecting their habitats is essential. Here are four of the more rare species you can still find in India.

Royal Bengali tiger - On the Indian subcontinent there is a population of less than 3500 wild Royal Bangal tiger. India has the majority of those numbers at somewhere between 2,603–3,346. This tiger is the National symbol of India and can be found in a small number of places including the Ranthambore National Park and also the Sariska Tiger Reserve. It is one of the largest of the big cats and is thought to have lived around India for more than 12,000 years! While there are efforts to save it the issue is that the reserves are not large enough. An effective population number needs to be able to handle more than 250 adults. But the loss of habitat, fragmentation of habitat as well as poaching continues to bring these tigers to the brink of extinction.  

Indian Cobra - Also known as the Asian Cobra or Spectacled Cobra, this is a very large snake that is highly thought of in India and is usually the snake you see with snake charmers. It is very venomous, one of the four most common causes of snakebites in the country. It has been under protected status since 1972.  Most adults range from 1 to 1.5 metres in length though some have been seen over 2 metres. It can live in a range of different habitat types, open or dense forests, rice fields, plains, wetlands, rocky terrain and even in cities and villages.

Asiatic Lion - The Asiatic Lion can be found in the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat though efforts are being made to also establish it in the Palpur Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh. Historically it had a much wider range from northern India to the Middle East. There are an estimated 674 lions, the numbers have increased since May 2015 when there were 523. But it remains at serious risk.

Great One Horned Rhinoceros - Found in the northeastern areas of India the Indian Rhino is the fourth largest land animal that has one horn. Popular places to visit and see them are Manas Park, Orang national park, Kaziranga National park, dubara forest and Pabitora reserve forest.
