Fauna in Madhya Pradesh :

As the state has a variety in its topographical feature, the state's flora and fauna varies from place to place. In the mountain range of Satpura and Maikala, trees like Teak, Sal and Bamboo are some of the varieties found in abundance. These also are the important commercial variety of flora of the state. Moreover, the state has a rich store of wildlife. The state being the host of a good number of wildlife sanctuaries, like the Kanha Wildlife Sanctuary, Shivpuri, Bandhavgarh and Rewa have some of the rare species of wildlife of the country. The Barasingha or Swamp Deer, Bison and the White Tiger (albinotic) are some of the wildlife found here.

Four-horned antelope :

It is found mainly in forest habitats and is usually solitary. A four-year long study was conducted on the species in Panna National Park, Madhya Pradesh. This antelope has four horns, which distinguish it from most other bovids, which have two horns (sparing a few such as the Jacob sheep). The sole member of the genus Tetracerus, the species was first described by French zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1816. Three subspecies are recognised. The four-horned antelope stands nearly 55–64 centimetres (22–25 in) at the shoulder and weighs nearly 17–22 kilograms (37–49 lb). Slender with thin legs and a short tail, the four-horned antelope has a yellowish brown to reddish coat. One pair of horns is located between the ears, and the other on the forehead. The posterior horns are always longer than the anterior horns, which might be mere fur-covered studs. While the posterior horns measure 8–12 centimetres (3.1–4.7 in), the anterior ones are 2–5 centimetres (0.79–1.97 in) long.

Leopard of the Central Provinces :

The Leopard of the Central Provinces, also known as the Devilish Cunning Panther, was a man-eating male Indian leopard which over the course of a couple of years, killed over 150 people, all women and children, in the Central Provinces of British India in the early 20th century. The leopard reportedly claimed a victim once every 2–3 days, each time in a different area to the last, with the killings sometimes taking place 20–30 miles apart. The leopard caused such panic that the native communities in its range rarely left their homes alone or unarmed.

Nimari cattle :

Nimari  is a breed of cattle native to the Nimar region of India. It originated out of Gyr (cattle) and Khillari cattle breeds, and is found in the regions of Narmada valley in the state of Madhya Pradesh and Jalgaon district in Maharashtra.

It is draught breed and cows are very average milk yielders. The cattle are of medium to large build and aggressive in temperament. Generally they are red in color, with skin interspersed with patches of white, well proportioned bodies that are straight and long, bulging forehead and graceful gait. The ears are not pendulous, but thick and protruding. The limbs are sturdy and straight with strong hooves, that can withstand rough terrain. Nimari cattle show a mixture of Gyr cattle and Khillari cattle(Tapi Valley strain) breeds, showing red coloration of Gir variety which have the habitat of Girnar. Starting from Barwani and Khargone districts of Madhya Pradesh, the breed spreads into Khandwa, and parts of Harda.

White tiger :

The white tiger or bleached tiger is a pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger, which is reported in the wild from time to time in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal and Bihar in the Sunderbans region and especially in the former State of Rewa. Such a tiger has the black stripes typical of the Bengal tiger, but carries a white or near-white coat.
