Kaziranga is home to the world-famous one-horned Rhinos; Kaziranga national park is the only place you can see them. Kaziranga National Park has spread over 450 sq km and is covered with elephant-grass meadows, swampy lagoons, and dense forests. Currently, the total population of one-horned rhine is around 2200, which is approximately 2/3rd of the total world population of rhinos. The Park was formed in 1908 on the suggestions of Mary Curzon. Later, in 1985, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Along with the rhinos, Kaziranga national park is home to many other animals like elephants, wild water buffalo, swamp deer, and tigers. Due to the increasing tiger population in recent years, in 2006, it was renamed Kaziranga Tiger Reserve.
