Indian King cobra

Its illegal to keep.
but I had black buck skin

I have been to some reserves/ NP. If you love wildlife and want to enjoy with least restrictions I would suggest Pilibhit tiger reserve ( for tigers n crocodile) and Bardia national park in Nepal.

Yellow Throat Bulbul ( A bird endemic to South India)

The Yellow-throated Bulbul is a species of bulbul endemic to southern peninsular India. They are found on scrub habitats on steep, rocky hills many of which are threatened by granite quarrying. It is confusable only with the White-browed Bulbul with which its range overlaps but is distinctively yellow on the head and throat apart from the yellow vent. The calls of this species are very similar to that of the White-browed Bulbul.

Changeable Hawk-Eagle

Changeable Hawk-Eagles breed in the Indian Subcontinent, mainly in India and Sri Lanka, and from the southeast rim of the Himalaya across Southeast Asia to Indonesia and the Philippines. This is a bird occurring singly (outside mating season) in open woodland, although island forms prefer a higher tree density. It builds a stick nest in a tree and lays a single egg.

Forest Owlet( Found only in Central India , another endemic species )

The Forest Owlet (Athene blewitti) is an owl that is endemic to the forests of central India. This species belongs to the typical owls family, Strigidae. After it was described in 1873 and last seen in the wild in 1884, it was considered extinct until it was rediscovered 113 years later in 1997 by Pamela Rasmussen. Searches for the species in the supposed localities given in the labels of specimens where it had been collected failed until it was discovered that these specimens had been stolen from the British Museum by Richard Meinertzhagen and resubmitted with new labels bearing false location information
