The Bengal Florican is a rare bustard species renowned for its distinctive mating display. Males, known for their secretive nature, perform elaborate aerial movements—leaping into the air and fluttering across their territory—amidst tall grasslands to attract mates.

• Habitat: This species primarily inhabits grasslands, occasionally mixed with patches of scrubland.
• Distribution: The Bengal Florican is native to only three countries—India, Nepal, and Cambodia. Within India, it is currently found in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh.
• Threats: The species faces a serious threat from the conversion of its natural grassland habitat, especially due to agricultural expansion, which is a major factor behind its declining population.
