  1. Although we have scanty informations about the status of Common leopard, Hispid hare and hog deer. As I personally feel that must have such status data before producing list of animals going to extinct in near future and if it continues than in near future we will and going to loose tiger, elephants and other large mammals which needs large space to survive.
