Which of the following Indian states is home to the largest population of the greater one-horned rhinoceros?
Assam
The correct answer is Assam.
Strict protection measures, anti-poaching initiatives, and habitat management in areas like Kaziranga have led to a remarkable recovery in their population. The success story of the greater one-horned rhinoceros is often cited as a major achievement in wildlife conservation. Threats to the greater one-horned rhinoceros still exist, including poaching for their horn (used in traditional medicine, though it is made of keratin, the same material as human fingernails) and habitat encroachment due to human activities and natural disasters like floods.
