According to Hindu mythology, Nepal derives its name from an ancient Hindu sage called Ne, referred to variously as Ne Muni or Nemi. According to Pashupati Purana, as a place protected by Ne, the country in the heart of the Himalayas came to be known as Nepal.
Nepal's dense tarai jungles are home to exotic animals like the Asiatic elephant, the one-horned rhinoceros, the Royal Bengal tiger among others. Also found here are the leopard, Rhesus monkey, langur, hyena, jackal, wild boar, antelope, wild cat, wolf, sloth bear, chital or spotted deer and barking deer.
The cassowary is usually considered to be the world's most dangerous bird, at least where humans are concerned, although ostriches and emus can also be dangerous.

ABSTRACT. There are fifty-nine coldwater indigenous and two exotic fish species in Nepal. Among the 59 indigenous species, Neolissocheilus hexagonolepis, Schizothoraichthys spp, Schizothorax spp and Tor spp are the most economically important fish, considering their table fish and sport fish values.
Choerospondias axillaris, known in English as the Nepali hog plum, is a tree in the family Anacardiaceae. It is a common fruit in Nepal also called lapsi. It is native to Nepal.
Country with the fewest species of birds: Easter Island (is that a country?) with 9 species (and 0 endemics).
Warblers: These small birds are similar to finches but tend to have longer, thinner bills with straight rather than triangular shapes, and they are more acrobatic in the trees. Wrens: Similar in color to sparrows, wrens show more barring on the wings and tail than sparrows typically have.
Snap a pic, and the (free) Merlin Bird Photo ID app will identify the bird. Once downloaded, it can go anywhere bird-watchers go, even places without cell service or Wi-Fi. What's that bird? A new mobile app can help you identify it.
What country has the most beautiful birds?

10,000 to 13,000 bird species and 200 to 400 billion individual birds are the rough estimates to the question of how many birds in the world.
Bird ClassificationAn animal is a land mammal other than a human being. Insects, birds and fish are not animals.

| 2 | Red-billed quelea | 1.5 Billion |
| 3 | Mourning Dove | 475 Million |

It may seem strange that among the more than 10,000 bird species in the world today is a group that literally cannot fly or sing, and whose wings are more fluff than feather. These are the ratites: the ostrich, emu, rhea, kiwi and cassowary.

Besides owls, bat hawks, frogmouths and nightjars also display good night vision. Some bird species nest deep in cave systems which are too dark for vision, and find their way to the nest with a simple form of echolocation.
There are 400 species of vascular plants which are endemic to Nepal. Of these, two in particular are orchids Pleione coronaria and Oreorchis porphyranthes. The most popular endemic plant of Nepal is rhododendron (arboreum) which in Nepali language is called lali guras.
Even today in different parts of Nepal, many plant species are used at various religious functions. Some of the important medicinal plants among these are Ocimum sanctum, Elaeocarpus sphaericus, Ficus religiosa, and Desmostachya bipinnata.
