The Asiatic lion’s last wild population survives solely in India’s Gir landscape, making it naturally found only in India. The double-humped (Bactrian) camel occurs across the cold deserts of Mongolia and China as well as Ladakh, and the greater one-horned rhinoceros ranges in both India and Nepal; therefore statements 2 and 3 are incorrect.
