The Kaziranga National Park has been the pride of Assam and definitely one of the highest tourist-pullers to the state. Home to one of the highest number of animals and birds, this UNESCO Heritage Site, Kaziranga contains significant breeding populations of 35 mammalian species, of which 15 are endangered. The Park has the distinction of being home to the world's largest population of the Indian Rhinoceros (2,401), wild water buffalo (1,666) and eastern swamp deer (468). Significant populations of large herbivores include Indian elephants (1,940), gaur (1300) and sambar (58). Small herbivores include the chital, Indian muntjac, Indian boar and Indian hog deer. Kaziranga has the largest population of the Wild water buffalo anywhere accounting for about 57% of the world population. The Indian rhinoceros, royal Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, wild water buffalo and swamp deer are collectively known as 'Big Five' of Kaziranga.
