Hundred of animals have been found dead in the Kaziranga national park in the north-east Indian state of Assam, which has been hit by severe floods.

印度东北部阿萨姆邦卡齐兰加国家公园被严重洪灾袭击，数百只动物死亡。

Over 440 animals, including the highly endangered one-horned rhino¹（犀牛） , have been killed in flood-related incidents, forest official D Gogoi told the BBC.

Kaziranga is home to nearly two-thirds of the world's remaining one-horned rhinos².

The majority of the animals killed - 379 - were hog³ deer, Mr Gogoi said.

Mr Gogoi said the bodies of 441 animals, including seven rhinos and nine swamp（沼泽，湿地） deer, have been found in the flooded national park.

He said two rhinos, who may have escaped the rising waters, have been poached in nearby hills.

Park workers have rescued 94 animals stranded⁴ in the waterlogged park, Mr Gogoi said.

"The death toll⁵ could rise further. We will assess the damage after the waters recede," he said.

Over 80 people have died and almost one million people have been forced to leave their homes by floods in Assam, officials say.

Officials say this is the worst flood in the state since 1998.
