The Indian Rhinoceros can run at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) for short periods of time and are also excellent swimmers. They have an excellent sense of hearing and smell, but relatively poor eyesight.

Hoolock Gibbons : The hoolock gibbons are one of the most important attractions of north east India’s wildlife. The hoolock gibbons are two primate species belonging to the family of the gibbons.
