State Animal of Nagaland: Mithun (Gayal)

• Huge domestic cattle, the gayal (Bos frontalis), is also known as the Drung ox or Mithun.
• Gayal is a little shorter at the withers and has proportionately shorter limbs.
• Bulls have a broader dewlap on the throat, and their back ridge is less developed.
• Gayal has a shorter and larger head, with a flawlessly flat forehead and a straight line connecting the horn bases.
• Gayal's horns are less flattened and curled than gaur's, stretching practically straight outwards from the sides of the head and curling slightly upwards at the points, but with no inward inclination. As a result, their extremities are far apart in comparison to the gaur.
• The female gayal is substantially smaller than the bull, with little dewlap on the throat.
• Both sexes have blackish-brown skin on their heads and bodies, with white or yellowish skin on the lower limbs.
• From base to tip, the horns have a consistent blackish color.

State Bird of Nagaland: Blyth's Tragopan (Tragopan Blythii)

• The Blyth's tragopan (Tragopan blythii), sometimes known as the grey-bellied tragopan, is a threatened species of pheasant. Edward Blyth, an English biologist and Curator of the Asiatic Society of Bengal's Museum, is remembered by the common name.
• The tragopan pheasant of Blyth's is the largest of the Tragopan genus. The male, like other pheasants, is vividly colored.
• It is distinguished by its rusty red hair and yellow face skin, as well as little white specks on its back known as ocelli.
• A black band runs from the bill's base to the crown, with a second black band running behind the eyes.
• Males have two pale blue horns that stand up during mating, just like the rest of the tragopans. It has a vividly colored lappet, which hangs from the throat. During the mating season, this lappet can also be extended and exposed.
• Female tragopans are not as vividly colored as males, as they do not require such opulence to attract a male mate. They are dark brown in color with a mottled pattern of black, buff, and white.

State Flower of Nagaland: Tree Rhododendron (Rhododendron Arboreum)

• Rhododendron arboreum, sometimes known as the tree rhododendron, is a spectacular evergreen shrub or small tree with bright red blooms.
• Rhododendron arboreum loves dappled shade and moist but well-drained, leafy, humus-rich, acid pH soil. It has broad, dark green leaves that are 7–19 cm long and have a silvery, fawn, or brown hairy underside. This plant is appropriate for use in woodland gardening.
• Its specific epithet means "growing in a tree-like form or tending to be woody." It has been known to grow to a height of 20 meters, though it is most commonly 12 meters tall and wide. The Guinness World Record for World's Largest Rhododendron is held by this plant.
• Red, pink, or white trusses of 15–20 bell-shaped blooms, 5 cm broad and 3–5 cm long, bloom in early and mid-spring. They feature black nectar pouches on the outside and black dots on the inside.

State Tree of Nagaland: Alder (Alnus Nepalensis)

• The Himalayan subtropical highlands are home to Alnus nepalensis, a huge alder tree. It's utilized for land reclamation, as well as for fuel and charcoal production.
• Alnus nepalensis is huge deciduous alder with silver-gray bark that can grow up to 30 meters tall and 60 meters wide.
• The leaves are 7–16 cm long and 5–10 cm wide, alternating, simple, shallowly serrated, and have conspicuous veins parallel to one another.
• Male and female flowers are separated but produced on the same tree in catkins. Male blooms are 10 to 25 cm long and pendulous, but female flowers are 1 to 2 cm tall and arranged in axillary racemes in clusters of up to eight.
• The seeds mature the following year, which is unusual for alder.
