Gujarat Wildlife »
 Gujarat
is a unique state that has many
kinds of habitats. These varied
landforms include dry deciduous
forests, majestic grasslands,
wetlands, marine ecosystems
and rich moist deciduous forests.
These habitats are home to some
extremely rare wildlife. The
Asiatic Lion is found only in
Gir. The Wild Ass in the Rann
of Kutch, the rare great Indian
bustard in the bird reserves,
the world's only four-horned
antelope and the Black Buck
are some other valued species
protected in Gujarat. The dugong
and the rare boralia species
also find a safe haven here.
