Kaziranga National Park in Assam is UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its population of one-horned rhinoceros, which it successfully conserved from near extinction. The park is also home to tigers, elephants, and water buffaloes. Peacock (national bird), black buck, and hornbill are found in other regions or as state symbols elsewhere.

The Royal Bengal Tiger is India's national animal, not the Bandipur or Gir variants. Bandipur and Gir are tiger reserves but not part of the national animal's name. The correct designation is Royal Bengal Tiger.

The Indian Peacock IS the national bird of India, so the statement 'Indian Peacock is not national Bird' is false. Therefore, option B (False) is correct as it accurately negates the incorrect statement.
