Dolphins are found in the Ganges-Brahmaputra and Karnafuli-Sangu River in Nepal and Bangladesh along with India.
A horny rhinoceros- Indian rhinoceros with a singing rhinoceros is found in the foothills of India and Himalayas. Due to its precious skin and singing, this species has always been the target of predators. As a result, they have also joined the list of extinction. Not only this, rhinos also have to face problems due to floods in rivers.
Snow leopard- Sad, but truth is that the number of snow leopards in India is only 500. This species is found in China, Nepal, Bhutan, Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan as well as Mongolia. Like rhinos, snow leopards are also facing crisis due to their skins, bones and other parts of the body. Illegal trade or hunting is even more dangerous for them.
