Answer:
Kaziranga National Park
Notes: Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve in Assam recently welcomed two new mammalian species: the elusive binturong (Arctictis binturong) and the small-clawed otter. Known colloquially as the bearcat, the binturong is India's largest civet. It's a solitary, nocturnal animal with scent glands for marking territory and a unique prehensile tail. Found in South-East Asia, its distribution spans several countries. Classified as Vulnerable by IUCN, it's also listed under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 and Appendix III of CITES.
