Answer:
India is considered one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. In India there are deserts, mountains, tropical and temperate forests, swamps, fields, meadows and rivers, as well as archipelagos.
The territory of India is part of the Indomalayan biogeographic zone, with the exception of the Himalayan highlands belonging to the Palearctic zone. Most animal species are common or similar to those living in Indochina and on the Great Sunda Islands, except for some unique taxa (for example, the family of shield-tailed snakes). Fossils of the Cretaceous period show the kinship of the Indian fauna with species living in the Seychelles and Madagascar.
In India, such large animals live as the Indian lion, Indian elephant, Indian rhino and Bengal tiger. In addition, Asian buffalo, gaur, Nilgir tar, several species of deer - axis, zambar, barassinga, mountzhak and others-, wild boar, thin-bodied monkeys and cheetahs, are also well known in the country.
