Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Kanha Tiger Reserve, located in Madhya Pradesh, is the first tiger reserve in India to officially introduce a mascot, named 'Bhoorsingh the Barasingha'. The mascot represents the hard-ground swamp deer (Barasingha), which is the state animal of Madhya Pradesh and was once on the verge of extinction. Kanha is globally recognized for its successful conservation efforts that saved this endemic species, which now exists primarily within this reserve. The mascot was created to establish a unique identity for the park and to spread awareness about the conservation of this rare deer species. While other reserves like Satpura have adopted mascots (e.g., 'Nanhi' the Giant Squirrel), Bhoorsingh remains the iconic symbol of Kanha's biodiversity and conservation success.
