Q. Consider the following locations:
1.Eravikulam National Park
2.Anamalai Tiger Reserve
3.Kudremukh National Park
4.Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary
How many of the above have significant populations of Nilgiri Tahr?
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation: Significant populations of Nilgiri Tahr are found in Eravikulam National Park and Anamalai Tiger Reserve. These areas provide the montane grassland habitats necessary for the Nilgiri Tahr. In contrast, Kudremukh National Park and Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, both located in Karnataka, do not have significant Nilgiri Tahr populations. These locations do not support the specific ecological conditions preferred by Nilgiri Tahrs, such as open montane grasslands at certain elevations, which are prevalent in parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala but not in the ecological zones of Kudremukh and Bhadra.
