Wildlife
| Some of the rarest wildlife on our planet can be found in India's national parks. India's parks protect a great variety of wildlife including tigers and Asian elephants. The Keoladeo Ghana National Park, more commonly known by its old name, Bharatpur, formerly the shooting preserve of the Maharaja of Bharatpur, today protects 3,000 species of birds. The Indian wild ass is only found now in little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat state. Golden langurs can be found only in a small patch of forest bordering the Manas River, which forms the border between the Manas Wildlife Sanctuary in Bhutan and the Manas National Park in India. The Gir Forest holds the last surviving population of Asiatic lions in the world, and the Kaziranga National Park in Assam is home to a large population of one-horned rhinoceros and wild buffaloes. The forests around the Ranthambore Fort is one of the best National Park to spot a tiger. Sariska Tiger Reserve is situated in the northern part of the Aravali hills. Sariska and Ranthambore protect tigers, leopards, four horned antelopes, nilgais, jackals, wild boars, monkeys, different types of deer, etc. |
