Question

Consider the following:
1. Black-necked crane
2. Cheetah
3. Flying squirrel
4. Snow leopard
Which of the above are naturally found in India?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B because of the following reasons:

1. Black necked cranes are found in the high altitude wetlands of the Tibetan Plateau, including the Ladakh region of India.

2. Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952. While they have been recently reintroduced from Africa into Kuno National Park, they are no longer considered naturally found or indigenous to the country in a wild, continuous sense.

3. Flying squirrels are naturally found in various parts of India, such as the Indian Giant Flying Squirrel and the Namdapha Flying Squirrel, which is endemic to Arunachal Pradesh.

4. Snow leopards are native to the high mountain ranges of the Himalayas, covering states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, as well as the Union Territory of Ladakh.

Since the cheetah is not naturally occurring in the wild in India today, option B is the most accurate choice.
