India do share many of the same wildlife as Africa due to its late continental drift away from Africa joining into Asia. Only country in the world where you can see tigers and lions in the wild. Not to mention leopards, elephants, buffaloes, Rhinos, bears, wolves, king cobras, pythons etc.India is the wildest place.. it is the size of a continent and has more wildlife and carnivorous diversity than any other country. Also Indians don't kill animals usually, so snakes curled up inside homes are pretty common including Cobras. Crocodile infested rivers are a common sight as are Lions and tigers.
