Explanation:

The Indian Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur), also called Ghor Khar or Ghud Khur is found predominantly in the Little Rann of Kutch and its surrounding areas in Gujarat. It is also found in southern Pakistan, Afghanistan, and south-eastern Iran. Saline deserts (Rann), arid grasslands and shrub lands are its preferred environment.

The IUCN Classifies it in the endangered category
