Explanation

The question asks for any two animals — so name two clearly and correctly. The passage explicitly lists: Indian elephant, black buck (chinkara), great Indian bustard (godawan), snow leopard, tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, Kashmir stag, crocodiles, and Asiatic lion. Pick any two. Write the common name; scientific name is not required. Do not waste words explaining the Act itself — just name the animals. One mark per correct animal.
