RAS question

Tal Chhapar Wildlife Sanctuary in Churu district is famous for:

Correct answer: (B) Blackbuck.

Tal Chhapar Wildlife Sanctuary in Churu district is famous for blackbuck.

  1. (A)

    Great Indian Bustard

  2. (B)

    Blackbuck

  3. (C)

    Crocodiles

  4. (D)

    Tigers

Explanation

Tal Chhapar Wildlife Sanctuary is identified with blackbuck because Rajasthan Tourism describes Tal Chhapar Sanctuary as a safe haven for blackbucks and birds, located in the Sujangarh tehsil of Churu. The sanctuary covers about 7.19 sq km of grassland and is among Rajasthan's best places to spot blackbuck. Tal Chhapar's grassland identity makes it a specific Rajasthan location strongly associated with one animal rather than a general wildlife park. Therefore, blackbuck is the correct species for the Churu-district sanctuary.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Great Indian Bustard is not Tal Chhapar's signature association; that bird is linked mainly with Desert National Park.
  • (C) Crocodiles do not fit Tal Chhapar's grassland identity; they are placed with the Chambal River and National Chambal Sanctuary.
  • (D) Tigers are not associated with Tal Chhapar; they are associated with Ranthambore and Sariska.

Concept

Rajasthan geography preparation relies on matching protected areas with their signature species and landscape. Such pairings recur in RAS because they connect districts, sanctuaries and biodiversity in one fact pattern.
