India is renowned for its tigers,
elephants and rhinoceros, which form a part of some 500 species of mammals
found here. A variety of deer and antelope species can be seen like the
Indian gazelles (chinkaras), Indian antelopes (blackbucks), four-horned
antelopes (chowsingas), large blue bulls (nilgais), rare swamp deer (barasinghas),
sambars, spotted deer and the tiny mouse deer. Also seen are the wild buffaloes,
massive Indian bisons (gaurs), shaggy sloth bears, striped hyenas, wild
pigs, jackals, Indian foxes, wolves, Indian wild dogs, mongoose, leopards,
panthers, rhesus macaques monkey, long-tailed langurs and many more roaming
in the deep dense forest.
Depending on the area and terrain,
these parks provide ample opportunity for wildlife watching. It may be done
from elephant back, from watch towers or even a boat - and the thrill of
spotting herds of wild elephant, deer, a rhino or even a tiger, in their
natural environment, is very difficult to match.
This programme is an attempt to
Unfold The Wildlife
Adventure of India and explore the
LIFE within the National Parks
