Eupodotis gindiana

Eupodotis gindiana, known as the Indian bustard, is a large, ground-dwelling bird found primarily in the grasslands and open areas of South Asia. This bird is known for its long legs, a distinctive plumage pattern, and its ability to blend into its environment. The Indian bustard is a threatened species due to habitat loss and hunting. It plays a vital role in its ecosystem by helping to control insect populations and acting as a seed disperser. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this remarkable bird and its natural habitat from further decline.
