Q. Jaldapara National Park, which was seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
West Bengal
Notes: Jaldapara National Park is in the news after five rhino cubs died recently. A similar incident occurred in February 2020, with six rhinos dying before the coronavirus outbreak. Foresters confirmed the deaths were not due to anthrax.
The rhino carcasses were examined in Kolkata, revealing no anthrax. The suspected cause is tapeworm infestation or another toxin. Tapeworms are dangerous to wildlife and can cause severe illness. Jaldapara National Park is situated at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in northern West Bengal.
