Slender Loris (Loris lydekkerianus)
With its big, haunting eyes and slow, deliberate movement, this small primate is both cute and creepy at the same time.
It looks like a mix of a fox, raccoon, and bear. Found in the Eastern Himalayas, this adorable but elusive animal grabs everyone’s attention.
Indian Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus)
A crocodile with a long, narrow snout that looks like it belongs in a fantasy movie. It's one of the most unique reptiles in India.
Imagine a bat with wings wider than a grown human's arms. These fruit bats hang in huge colonies and fly out at dusk.
Known for its silver mane and expressive face, this monkey is intelligent, rare, and only found in the forests of the Western Ghats.
Covered in armor-like scales, it looks like a walking pine cone. Sadly, it's also one of the most trafficked animals in the world.
Its star-patterned shell makes it stand out. Though slow and quiet, it's a stunning sight in dry Indian habitats.
Purple Frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis)
This rare frog looks like it came from another planet. It lives underground and surfaces only for a few days each year during the monsoon.
