MP Board · Class 8 · English · Thrills of Kanha KisliWhy is the Barasingha described as the pride of Kanha Kisli National Park in the lesson?

In the lesson 'Thrills of Kanha Kisli', Dev explains to Sujit that the Barasingha, also known as the swamp deer, holds a special place of importance and is considered the pride of Kanha Kisli National Park. This species is extraordinarily unique because it is the only remaining habitat in the world where this particular species of hard-ground swamp deer exists and survives naturally. Due to continuous conservation efforts inside the park, the endangered Barasingha was successfully saved from becoming completely extinct. Dev mentions that watching a herd of these magnificent deer moving gracefully through the open grasslands of Kanha is an unforgettable experience for visitors. Their conservation success makes them the true natural heritage and pride of this national park.
