Which one is the State animal of Puducherry
A.
Squirrel
AnswerB.
Tiger
C.
Chital
D.
Deer
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Correct Fact: Puducherry’s state animal is the Indian Palm Squirrel (also called the three-striped palm squirrel, Funambulus palmarum).Why not the others? “Chital/Deer” are spotted-deer species used by some other states/UTs, and Tiger is India’s national animal—not Puducherry’s state animal.
Extra info: The Indian Palm Squirrel is a common, diurnal rodent across southern India and is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
