❖ What is wildlife?

➔Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to

include all organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being
introduced by humans. ... Deserts, forests, rainforests, plains, grasslands, and
other areas, including the most developed urban areas, all have distinct forms
of wildlife.
❖NAGALAND
➔The State of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on
December 1st, 1963, as the 16th State of the Indian Union.
It is bounded by Assam in the West, Myanmar (Burma) on
the east, Arunachal Pradesh and part of Assam on the
North and Manipur in the South.
This is a land of the hospitable and warm Nagas. It has
always evoked a sense of awe and wonder in the minds of
people including the visitors. Although most of the Nagas
have now become Christians, they still preserve the
remnants of their early animist culture and ancient
Birds
Blyth's tragopan pheasant is the largest of the genus Tragopan. Like most
pheasants, the male is brightly colored. It is recognized by its rusty red head,
yellow facial skin, and that it is spotted with small white dots on its back
called ocelli. A black band extends from the base of the bill to the crown
coupled with another black band extending behind the eyes. Its lappet, a
decorated flap, hangs from the throat and is brightly colored. Overall, they
are dark brown with a mixture of black, buff and white mottling. Their simple
and dull look is a protection mechanism from other animals, known as
camouflage.

The hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and

subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia. They are characterized by a long,
down-curved bill which is frequently brightly colored and sometimes has a
casque on the upper mandible. Both the common English and the scientific
name of the family refer to the shape of the bill, "buceros" being "cow horn"
in Greek. Hornbills have a two-lobed kidney. They are the only birds in which
the first and second neck vertebrae (the atlas and axis respectively) are fused
 The dark-rumped swift (Apus acuticauda) is a species of swift in the family
Apodidae. It is found in Bhutan and Northeast India and is a vagrant to Thailand.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened
by habitat loss.
A rare and highly range-restricted dark swift lacking any white on the
lower back. Note contrast between belly and solid black undertail. Breeds
Dark rumped swift in damp forested hills with waterfalls, steep cliffs, and ledges; forages over
other habitats as well.

The wood snipe (Gallinago nemoricola) is a species of snipe which breeds in the
Himalayas of northern India, Nepal, Bhutan and southern China. In winter, it occurs
at lower altitudes in the Himalayas, as a regular visitor in small numbers to north
Vietnam.
Wood Snipe This is a dark snipe, 28–32 centimetres (11–13 in) in length, with a short, broad-based
bill.
This species is classified as vulnerable, with a population of less than 10,000 birds.
Major threats to its existence include habitat loss and hunting.

The blue-naped pitta (Hydrornis nipalensis) is a species of bird in the family

Pittidae.

Animals
Monitor lizards are large lizards in the genus Varanus. About 80 species are
recognized.
Monitor lizards have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs.
The adult length of extant species ranges from 20 cm (7.9 in) in some species, to over
3 m (10 ft) in the case of the Komodo dragon.
Most monitor species are terrestrial, but arboreal and semiaquatic monitors are also
known. While most monitor lizards are carnivorous, eating eggs, smaller reptiles,
Monitor fish, birds, insects, and small mammals, some also eat fruit and vegetation, depending
lizard on where they live.

The slender lorises (Loris) are a genus of loris native to India and
Sri Lanka.
Slender lorises spend most of their life in trees, traveling along the top of
branches with slow and precise movements.
Slender Loris It is found in tropical rainforests, scrub forests, semi-deciduous forests, and
swamps. The species have lifespans of 15 years and are nocturnal.
 Bears are mammals that belong to the family Ursidae. They can be as small as four feet
long and about 60 pounds (the sun bear) to as big as eight feet long and more than a
thousand pounds (the polar bear).
They have non-retractable claws, short tails, and excellent sense of smell. They’re
typically solitary, except for mothers with cubs.On average, bears can live up to 25
years in the wild and 50 in captivity.

The Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak), also called the southern red muntjac and
barking deer, is a deer species native to South and Southeast Asia.
This muntjac has soft, short, brownish or greyish hair, sometimes with creamy
markings. It is among the smallest deer species. It is an omnivore and eats grass, fruit,
Barking deer shoots, seeds, bird eggs, and small animals, and occasionally scavenges on carrion. Its
calls sound like barking, often when frightened by a predator, hence the common name
"barking deer".

The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent,
South China, and Southeast Asia that is li Populations have declined substantially due
to severe hunting, local insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.

Honeyguides (family Indicatoridae) are near passerine birds in the order
Piciformes. They are also known as indicator birds, or honey birds, although
the latter term is also used more narrowly to refer to species of the genus
Prodotiscus. They have an Old World tropical distribution, with the greatest
number of species in Africa and two in Asia. These birds are best known for
their interaction with humans. Honeyguides are noted and named for one or

Blyth's tragopan (Tragopan blythii) or the grey-bellied tragopan, is a pheasant

that is a vulnerable species. The common name commemorates Edward Blyth
(1810–1873), English zoologist and Curator of the Museum of the Asiatic Society
of Bengal.
Tragopan blythii normally flocks to wooded areas as it prefers the undergrowth
Blyth's tragopan of evergreen oak and rhododendron forests, and other dark, quiet places. This
bird has a higher elevation than most birds.

Woodpeckers are part of the family Picidae, that also includes the piculets,
wrynecks, and sapsuckers.
Members of this family are chiefly known for their characteristic behaviour.
They mostly forage for insect prey on the trunks and branches of trees, and
Woodpecker often communicate by drumming with their beak, producing a reverberatory
Animals
The stump-tailed macaque has long, thick, dark brown fur covering its body,
but its face and its short tail. Infants are born white and darken as they
mature. As they age, their bright pink or red faces darken to brown or nearly
black and lose most of their hair.
Stumptail macaques have a large, bulky, muscular build with thick, solid
limbs, making them very mobile on land yet quite ungainly in trees, and this
unusual physique for a macaque may be responsible for this species unique
Stump tailed tendency to consume larger quantities of meat than other macaque species.

The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is a wild cat inhabiting dense forests
from the foothills of the Himalayas through mainland Southeast Asia into
southern ChinaThe first clouded leopard known to science was brought to
London from China in the early 19th century and described in 1821. It has
Clouded leopard large dusky-grey blotches and irregular spots and stripes forming a clouded
pattern. It uses its tail for balancing when moving in trees and is able to climb
 The sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a species in the family Ursidae. It is the
smallest bear, standing nearly 70 centimetres at the shoulder and weighing 25–65
kilogram. It is stockily built, with large paws, strongly curved claws, small rounded
ears and a short snout. The fur is generally jet-black, but can vary from grey to red.
Sun bears get their name from the characteristic orange to cream coloured chest
patch. Its unique morphology—inward-turned front feet, flattened chest, powerful
sun bear forelimbs with large claws—suggests adaptations for climbing.

The small Indian civet (Viverricula indica) is a civet native to South and
Southeast Asia.The small Indian civet has a rather coarse fur that is brownish grey
to pale yellowish brown, with usually several longitudinal black or brown bands on
the back and longitudinal rows of spots on the sides. Usually there are five or six
distinct bands on the back and four or five rows of spots on each side. Some have
small indian indistinct lines and spots, with the dorsal bands wanting. Generally there are two
civet dark stripes from behind the ear to the shoulders, and often a third in front, crossing
the throat.

Eurasian Otter, also known as European Otter, Eurasian River Otter, Common
Otter, and Old World Otter, is a semiautomated mammal origin of Eurasia. The most
