They are endemic to Indian subcontinent, habitat includes dry lands, grasslands, scrubs. They tend to have seasonal local migration.

Grass Land Habitat (ಹುಲ್ಲುಗಾವಲು / ಗೋಮಾಳ) - Threatened and ignored habitat, often considered as waste land (even government is ignorant), but in reality the grass land ((ಹುಲ್ಲುಗಾವಲು / ಗೋಮಾಳ)) is an important habitat and has a significant role in ecology. Most of the endangered and threatened species like Great Indian Bustard, Black Buck, lesser florican, Indian grey wolf (Mougli's friend) etc.,are at the verge of extinction due to habitat loss.
