Tiger is not a resident in which one of the following National Park ?
  1. Jim Corbett
  2. Ranthambhor
  3. Sunderbans
  4. Gir

Solution

Explanation: Gir National Park is located in Gujarat, India, and is famous for being the last refuge of the Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica). Tigers are not native to Gir; instead, the park is dedicated to the conservation of the Asiatic lion. Jim Corbett National Park (Uttarakhand), Ranthambore National Park (Rajasthan), and Sunderbans National Park (West Bengal) are all known tiger habitats, with tigers being a resident species in these parks. Therefore, the tiger is not a resident of Gir National Park, which is home to Asiatic lions instead.
