El Jaguar
El tigre de Bengala (Panthera tigris tigris), también conocido como tigre de Bengala real o tigre indio, es una subespecie de tigre que habita en la India, Nepal, Bangladés, Bután, Birmania y Tíbet.
En 2017 un equipo de investigadores pertenecientes a la UICN publicó una nueva clasificación taxonómica de la familia felidae en la que solo reconocía dos subespecies de tigres, el tigre de Asia continental (Panthera tigris tigris), que agrupa al tigre de Bengala, siberiano, de Indochina, sur de China, malayo, así como el tigre extinto del Caspio y los tigres de la sonda (Panthera tigris sondaica) que agrupa al tigre de Sumatra así como a los ya desaparecidos tigres de Java y Bali.
La Capibara
El oso bezudo, labiado o perezoso, presenta un conjunto de características poco comunes que lo diferencian fácilmente de otras especies de úrsidos, entre las que se encuentra una amplia capa de pelo largo, lacio y negro (con la excepción de una banda de pelo blanco en forma de "V" en el pecho), un hocico elongado con una nariz y labios muy prominentes y móviles, y unos pies curvados hacia dentro, rematados por largas uñas más útiles para cavar que para atrapar y desgarrar animales. Estos elementos son tan raros que cuando los zoólogos europeos recogieron las primeras descripciones y pieles de manos de los hindúes, pensaron inicialmente que se encontraban ante algún tipo de perezoso o algún otro insectívoro emparentado.
El parecido con los perezosos no termina ahí. Al igual que ellos, el oso labiado también es extremadamente lento cuando se desplaza ) y puede trepar a los árboles. .
Barasinga
El ciervo de barasinga o ciervo de los pantanos (Rucervus duvaucelii) es una especie de mamífero artiodáctilo de la familia Cervidae autóctona de la India y Nepal.3 Últimamente se debate la posibilidad de cambiar el género de este cérvido a Rucervus, anteriormente usado como subgénero, separándolo del ciervo común.
Nomenclatura: La palabra barasingha viene del hindi, de los términos barah (doce) y sig (cuerno), significando doce cuernos.
Su nombre científico proviene del latín cervus (ciervo) y duvaucelii en honor a Alfred Duvaucel (1796-1824), un naturalista francés
