The Giant squirrel (Shekru), which appears endangered but lacks definite information owing to behavioural habits like shyness, is classified under which category of threatened species?

AEndangered species
BIndeterminate species
CRare species
DVulnerable species
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Indeterminate species
1. The category for species that seem endangered but lack definite, substantial data is indeterminate. 2. The shyness of the giant squirrel keeps its status uncertain, matching this category. 3. Endangered, rare, and vulnerable categories assume known declining numbers, so they do not fit. 4. Hence the answer is Indeterminate species. _Source: Balbharati (Maharashtra Board) Class 10 Science & Technology Part 2, Ch 4 "Environmental Management", p.54_
