“Old as the mountains” perfectly describes India’s Western Ghats, a mountain chain that makes the more famous Himalayas look young. The tropical ecosystem here is influenced by the Indian monsoon season; warmth and constant moisture support more than 325 forms of birds (the great pied hornbill, for instance), mammals, reptiles, fish, and various flora, many threatened elsewhere.
