Key Concepts
Endangered Species: A species at risk of extinction due to factors like habitat loss, poaching, or low population.
Great Indian Bustard: A critically endangered bird found in India.
Musk Deer: A deer species valued for musk, hunted extensively.
Red Panda: A small mammal native to the Eastern Himalayas, facing habitat threats.
Asiatic Wild Ass: A wild equine species, also known as the Indian Onager, found in arid regions.
Why Option A is Correct
- Great Indian Bustard: Critically endangered, with very few left.
- Musk Deer: Hunted for musk, leading to population decline.
- Red Panda: Habitat loss and low birth rates threaten survival.
- Asiatic Wild Ass: Habitat degradation and competition with livestock are key threats.
All four species in Option A are classified as endangered.
