Explanation:

The Great Indian Bustard, one of the heaviest flying birds, can weigh up to 15 kg and grow up to one metre in height.
It is considered the flagship grassland species, representing the health of the grassland ecology. However, with rampant hunting and declining grasslands, their population dwindled. In July 2011, the bird was categorised as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

They are mainly found in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
