In which of the following state of India, the only floating wildlife sanctuary of the world is situated?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Manipur.

The only floating wildlife sanctuary in the world, the Keibul Lamjao National Park, is located in Manipur. It is home to the endangered Sangai deer (brow-antlered deer) and floats on Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India. The park's unique phumdis (floating vegetation) make it one-of-a-kind.

Other options:

  • Meghalaya: Known for lush green hills and living root bridges, but has no floating sanctuary.

  • Tripura: Famous for its palaces and temples, but not for any floating wildlife reserve.

  • Assam: Renowned for Kaziranga National Park (home to one-horned rhinos), but it is not a floating sanctuary.
