1. Himalayan Griffon Vulture: Critically endangered
2. Indian Vulture: Endangered
3. Slender-Billed Vulture: Critically endangered
4. White-Rumped Vulture: Critically endangeredSelect the correct answer using the codes below:
Correct
EXPLANATION
Some of the important Vultures
Option 1 is incorrectly matched: As per IUCN red list Himalayan Griffon Vulture is near threatened. The Himalayan vulture or Himalayan griffon vulture (Gyps himalayensis) is an Old World vulture in the family Accipitridae. Closely related to the European griffon vulture (G. fulvus) and once considered a subspecies of it this species is found along the Himalayas and the adjoining Tibetan Plateau. It is one of the two largest Old World vultures and true raptors.
Option 2 is incorrectly matched: The Indian vulture (Gyps indicus) is an Old World vulture native to India Pakistan and Nepal. It has been listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2002 as the population severely declined. Indian vultures died of renal failure caused by diclofenac poisoning.

Option 3 is correctly matched: The slender-billed vulture (Gyps tenuirostris) is a recently recognized species of Old World vulture. For some time it was categorized with its relative the Indian vulture under the name of Òlong-billed vultureÓ. However these two species have non-overlapping distribution ranges and can be immediately told apart by trained observers even at considerable distances. It is considered as critically endangered as per the IUCN Red List data. The Indian vulture is found only to the south of the Ganges and breeds on cliffs while the slender-billed vulture is found along the Sub-Himalayan regions and into Southeast Asia and nests in trees.
Option 4 is correctly matched: The White-Rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) is an Old World vulture native to South and Southeast Asia. It has been listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2000 as the population severely declined. White-romped vultures die of renal failure caused by diclofenac poisoning. In the 1980s the global population was estimated at several million individuals and it was thought to be the most abundant large bird of prey in the world. As of 2016 the global population was estimated at less than 10000 mature individuals.
