Himalayan
Wildlife in India
The
highest mountain ranges in the world and geologically speaking, the
youngest, the Himalayas offer some of the most spectacular landscapes in
the world. The western and eastern sectors of these lofty mountains have
distinct differences in vegetation and wildlife.
Vegetation
also varies with altitude and ranges from the tropical and sub tropical
forests of the foothills, the temperate forests and alpine meadows of
the higher reaches, to the high altitude deserts in Kashmir and Himachal
Pradesh.
With diverse habitats, animal life is varied too.
