Keibul Lamjao National Park, located in Manipur, is the only floating national park in the world. It is situated on Loktak Lake and is characterised by unique floating islands called ‘phumdis’, which are heterogeneous masses of vegetation, soil, and organic matter at various stages of decomposition. This habitat is home to the critically endangered Sangai (Manipur brow-antlered deer), also known as the dancing deer.
