Kaziranga National Park, being the largest asylum of the one-horned Indian rhinocerous, is definitely one of the most famous among Indian National Parks. The Sanctuary provides a unique setting for the sight of it's best known resident. Along with other wildlives, including birds.

The park became a game sanctuary in 1926, and by 1966 the rhino numbers had risen to about 400. Though they are still threatened by poachers and floods, the population of these great beasts is now touching 1500. The park has other animals like the, gaur (indian bison), deer, elephant, tiger, bear and water bird species which bread here.  

Rhinocerous Unicornis, of Assam remains the last citadel of the one-horned great Indian rhinocerous (an animal that Marco Polko thought was the mythological Unicorn). Once widely distributed across the Northern floodplains of the sub-continent the rhino has been hunted and displaced by humans and is now restricted to only a handful of wildlife reserves. In India the greatest number are found in Kaziranga National Park.

Attracting less attention than the tiger, it's numbers are few - barely 1500. The majority crowding just one area. Large and formidable, the rhino has no natural predators. The sole exception being armed men. Who coupled with the rhino's slow growth rate makes it pretty difficult for the animal to resist extinction. The rhino's preferred habitat coinciding with human habitation, political turmoil providing cover for the poachers, and ever present market for rhino products make things a little tougher for this tough-as-a-tank beast.
