India’s climate and physiography is highly diverse. We have Himalayan regions where there is deep snow and on the other hand deserts like Rajasthan and Kachchh which are extremely hot. Similarly, we have a very long coastline. Majority of India consists of plains. Such a large geographical diversity has resulted in a large variation in insects, birds, animals and vegetation among various regions of India. India is home to 81,251 species of animals and birds. Also, it stands 12th in the world in terms of bio-diversity. Animals from as far as Asia, Europe and Africa are found in India. Hence, we can rightly say that India has a very diverse wildlife.
