Question 23
Consider the following pairs:
Country Animal found in its
natural habitat
1. Brazil Indri
2. Indonesia Elk
3. Madagascar Bonobo
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Country Animal found in its

1. Brazil Indri
2. Indonesia Elk
3. Madagascar Bonobo
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
AOptions
A
A) Only one
B
B) Only two
C
C) All three
D
D) None
BSolution
Let's check each pair:
1. Brazil - Indri: Incorrect. The Indri (Indri indri) is the largest living lemur and is endemic to Madagascar, not Brazil. Brazil is known for its diverse wildlife, including monkeys and jaguars, but not indris.
2. Indonesia - Elk: Incorrect. Elk (Cervus canadensis) are large deer species primarily found in North America and East Asia (e.g., China, Mongolia). While Indonesia has deer species, the Elk is not native to its natural habitat. Indonesia is known for unique species like Orangutans and Komodo dragons.
3. Madagascar - Bonobo: Incorrect. Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are a species of great ape found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Central Africa. Madagascar is famous for its unique lemur species, but not bonobos.
Therefore, none of the pairs are correctly matched.

CStrategy
This question tests specific knowledge of biodiversity and geographical distribution of species. Focus on endemic species and their primary habitats. It's often helpful to associate famous animals with their native regions.
DSyllabus Analysis
Environment & Ecology: Biodiversity (Geographical Distribution of Species, Animal Ecology). Geography: World Geography.
EQuestion Analysis
This is a factual question from Biodiversity/Geography. It requires specific knowledge of where certain animal species are found. All three pairs are incorrect, making it potentially challenging if one doesn't have precise knowledge of these specific species' ranges. Medium to Hard difficulty.
