Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The correct answer is indeed B) Python molurus, but it’s important to note that the conservation status of all these species is of concern. Here’s a brief overview:
A) Panthera leo persica (Asiatic Lion): This species is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
B) Python molurus (Indian Python): This species is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
C) Chelonia mydas (Green Sea Turtle): This species is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
D) Siberian crane: This species is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
So, while the Indian Python is indeed facing threats and is near threatened, the Siberian Crane is actually in a more critical condition being listed as Critically Endangered. It’s crucial to note that all these species need conservation attention.
