Question 1817

Which of the following pairs of animals and their habitats is correctly matched? A) Asiatic Lions - Sundarbans B) One-horned Rhinoceroses - Assam C) Camels - Himalayan Region D) Elephants - Great Indian Desert

Answer

B

Why?

The correct Answer is: One-horned Rhinoceroses - Assam Key Points Asiatic Lions - Sundarbans This pair is not correctly matched. Asiatic Lions are primarily found in the Gir Forest National Park of Gujarat, India, not in the Sundarbans, which is known for its mangrove forests and the Royal Bengal Tigers. One-horned Rhinoceroses - Assam This pair is correctly matched. Assam, particularly the Kaziranga National Park, is a well-known habitat for the One-horned Rhinoceroses. This species is closely associated with the floodplain ecosystems of the Brahmaputra River in Assam and is conserved in protected areas in the state. Camels - Himalayan Region This pair is not correctly matched. Camels are not native to the Himalayan Region. Instead, camels are commonly associated with arid regions such as Rajasthan (famous for the Thar Desert), where they are used for transport and other purposes. Elephants - Great Indian Desert This pair is not correctly matched. Elephants are not native to the Great Indian Desert (also known as the Thar Desert). They are more commonly found in forested regions including the northeastern states of India, Northern West Bengal, and parts of Southern India, where there are suitable habitats for them. Therefore, the pair that is correctly matched is One-horned Rhinoceroses - Assam , making Option 2) B the correct answer.
