FLORA & FAUNA

Tadoba National Park’s fauna ranges from mammals to reptiles, birds to butterflies, but all the wildlife has proven this point that this national park is like a home to them. Around 150 Bengal Tigers reside here (within reserve and off-reserve) and due to such a high population of tigers here, this national park is also known as “The Land of Tigers”. For the visitor’s delight and apart from the main attraction, this national park is home to mammals like Indian Gaur, Sloth Bears, Nilgai, Dhole, Sambar and Barking Deer, Striped Hyenas, Chausingha, Small Indian Civet, and much more. All these mammals have lured tourists for years but there is one water animal which has been attracting the spectators for many years. Marsh Crocodile is the one water animal which once upon a time was a common sight in Maharashtra and now with such major decline in its population, this reptile is now a tourist attraction in this national park. While we are talking about reptiles, Tadoba National Park is also a home to the endangered Indian Python and Bengal Monitor, Indian Cobra, Indian Star-Tortoise, Russell’s Viper and Terrapins. Huge varieties of species of the animal kingdom could be found here which by far are doing the best in making the visual sight of tourists a memorable one. With that being said, another factor which beautifies the sight is the rich flora of this national park. Tadoba National Park is a mixture of dense woodland with predominant southern tropical dry deciduous forests. Accompanying them, you would find trees like Semal, Selai, Crocodile Bark, Bija, Tendu, and much more.
