Additional Key Points for Exam Preparation
- Western Tragopan (Jujurana): It is categorized as Vulnerable by the IUCN. The Sarahan center is crucial for its survival.
- Cheer Pheasant: Categorized as Vulnerable. They are distinct because they lack the brilliant colors of other pheasants and are often found on steep, grassy hillsides.
- Himalayan Monal: Categorized as Least Concern, though still protected. It is the National Bird of Nepal (where it is called Danphe).
