Pobitora wildlife sanctuary
Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, situated in the flood plains of River Brahmaputra in the district of Morigaon and about 45 kms from Guwahati, the capital of Assam, India. Pobitora originally was a grazing reserve for cattle of erstwhile Nagaon district, came into limelight during the year 1961-62 for sighting of One Horned Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis). During that time a few rhinos strayed out of Lawkhowa and Orang Wild Life Sanctuaries and gradually became resident.
