Situated
on the south bank of the Brahmaputra river, Kaziranga National Park (Assam,
India) is famous for the stronghold of the armoured one-horned Indian Rhinoceros
.Kaziranga is home also to elephants, sloth bears, tigers, leopard cats, jungle
cats, hog badgers, capped langurs, hoolock gibbons, pigs, jackals, porcupines,
pythons, wild buffaloes, Indian bison, swamp deer, sambhars and hog deer. Besides
these, the park has a respectable avian population, which increases considerably
in the winter, when migrating birds visit the park.
