Which one is the State animal of Puducherry

A. Squirrel

B. Tiger

C. Chital

D. Deer

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Correct Fact: Puducherry’s state animal is the Indian Palm Squirrel (also called the three-striped palm squirrel, Funambulus palmarum).

Why not the others? “Chital/Deer” are spotted-deer species used by some other states/UTs, and Tiger is India’s national animal—not Puducherry’s state animal.

Extra info: The Indian Palm Squirrel is a common, diurnal rodent across southern India and is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
