Wildlife Institute of India to relocate endangered ‘dancing deer’ of Manipur

Wildlife Institute of India to relocate endangered ‘dancing deer’ of Manipur
The scientists of Wildlife Institute of India (WII) have been assigned the task to provide second home to 110 Sangai , brow-antlered and one of the most endangered species under Centre’s Endangered Species Recovery Project.
Details:
The sangai is an endemic, rare and endangered subspecies of brow-antlered deer. It is also state animal of Manipur.
The Sangai is now restricted to the Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP) in the Southeastern fringe of Loktak Lake in Manipur. Phumdis, floating vegetation occupy about two-third of the surface area of the lake. They feed, live and breed on this 9 km area of Phumdis.
It is classified as “Endangered” by the IUCN.
Why it is called “dancing deer”?
While walking on the floating biomass, Sangai often balances itself which looks as if it is dancing on the green grassland and therefore popularly called as “dancing deer” of Manipur
