Which of the following animals is found in the arid areas of the Rann of Kachchh and the Thar Desert?
Indian wild ass
The Indian wild ass (Khur) is adapted to hot, dry, saline flats and scrub, and survives mainly in the Rann of Kachchh, with the Wild Ass Sanctuary in the Little Rann as its stronghold, and in adjoining Thar Desert areas.
The Rhesus macaque lives in forests and around human settlements, elephants need forests with plenty of water and fodder, and the Indian bison (gaur) lives in moist and hill forests – none of these is a desert animal.
Hence, the answer is Indian wild ass.
